Tails, The Amnesic Incognito Live System, version 0.20, is out.

All users must upgrade as soon as possible: this release fixes [numerous security issues](https://tails.boum.org/news/../security/Numerous_security_holes_in_0.19/index.en.html).

# Changes

Notable user-visible changes include:

* New features

    * Install Linux kernel 3.10.3-1 from Debian unstable.
    * Iceweasel 17.0.8esr + Torbrowser patches.
  * Bugfixes


    * Prevent Iceweasel from displaying a warning when leaving HTTPS web sites.
    * Make Iceweasel use the correct, localized search engine.
    * Fix Git access to https:// repositories.
  * Minor improvements


    * Install Dasher, a predictive text entry tool.
    * Add a wrapper around TrueCrypt which displays a warning about it soon being deprecated in Tails.
    * Remove Pidgin libraries for all protocols but IRC and Jabber/XMPP. Many of the other protocols Pidgin support are broken in Tails and haven't got any security auditting.
    * Disable the pre-defined Pidgin accounts so they do not auto-connect on Pidgin start.
    * Include information about Alsa in WhisperBack reports.
    * Explicitly restrict access to ptrace. While this setting was enabled by default in Debian's Linux 3.9.6-1, it will later disabled in 3.9.7-1. It's unclear what will happen next, so let's explicitly enable it ourselves.
    * Do not display dialog when a message is sent in Claws Mail.
    * Sync iceweasel preferences with the Torbrowser's.
  * Localization


    * Many translation updates all over the place.
    * Merge all Tails-related POT files into one, and make use of intltoolize for better integration with Transifex.
