Tails, The Amnesic Incognito Live System, version 1.2, is out.

This release fixes [numerous security issues](https://tails.boum.org/news/../security/Numerous_security_holes_in_1.1.2/index.en.html) and all users must [upgrade](https://tails.boum.org/news/../doc/first_steps/upgrade/index.en.html) as soon as possible.

# Changes

Notable user-visible changes include:

* Major new features

    * Install (most of) the Tor Browser, replacing our previous Iceweasel-based browser. The version installed is from TBB 4.0 and is based on Firefox 31.2.0esr. This fixes the POODLE vulnerability.
    * Upgrade Tor to 0.2.5.8-rc.
    * Confine several important applications with AppArmor.
  * Bugfixes


    * Install Linux 3.16-3 (version 3.16.5-1).
  * Minor improvements


    * Upgrade I2P to 0.9.15, and isolate I2P traffic from the Tor Browser by adding a dedicated I2P Browser. Also, start I2P automatically upon network connection, when the `i2p` boot option is added.
    * Make it clear that _TrueCrypt_ will be removed in Tails 1.2.1 ([ticket #7739](https://labs.riseup.net/code/issues/7739)), and document how to open _TrueCrypt_ volumes with `cryptsetup`.
    * Enable VirtualBox guest additions by default ([ticket #5730](https://labs.riseup.net/code/issues/5730)). In particular this enables VirtualBox's display management service.
    * Make the OTR status in Pidgin clearer thanks to the formatting toolbar ([ticket #7356](https://labs.riseup.net/code/issues/7356)).
    * Upgrade syslinux to 6.03-pre20, which should fix UEFI boot on some hardware.


See the [online Changelog](https://git-tails.immerda.ch/tails/plain/debian/changelog) for technical details.
