Tails, The Amnesic Incognito Live System, version 0.18, is out.
All users must upgrade as soon as possible.
# Changes
Notable user-visible changes include:
* New features
* Support obfs3 bridges.
* Automatically install a custom list of additional packages chosen by the user at the beginning of every working session, and upgrade them once a network connection is established (technology preview).
* Iceweasel
* Upgrade to Iceweasel 17.0.5esr-0+tails2~bpo60+1.
* Update Torbrowser patches to current maint-2.4 branch (567682b).
* Torbutton 1.5.2, and various prefs hacks to fix breakage.
* HTTPS Everywhere 3.2
* NoScript 2.6.6.1-1
* Isolate DOM storage to first party URI, and enable DOM storage.
* Isolate the image cache per url bar domain.
* Update prefs to match the TBB's, fix bugs, and take advantage of the latest Torbrowser patches.
* Make prefs organization closer to the TBB's, and generally clean them up.
* Bugfixes
* Linux 3.2.41-2+deb7u2.
* All Iceweasel prefs we set are now applied.
* Bring back support for proxies of type other than obfsproxy.
* Minor improvements
* Set `kernel.dmesg_restrict=1`, and make `/proc/<pid>/` invisible and restricted for other users. It makes it slightly harder for an attacker to gather information that may allow them to escalate privileges.
* Install gnome-screenshot.
* Add a _About Tails_ launcher in the _System_ menu.
* Install GNOME accessibility themes.
* Use _Getting started..._ as the homepage for the Tails documentation button.
* Disable audio preview in Nautilus.
* Localization: many translation updates all over the place.

# Known issue
The web browser default search engine is Google, instead of the intended localized Startpage. You may select _Startpage HTTPS_ in the search engine menu next to the Google icon.
