Tails, The Amnesic Incognito Live System, version 1.6, is out.

This release fixes [numerous security issues](https://tails.boum.org/news/../security/Numerous_security_holes_in_1.5.1/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

## Upgrades and changes

* Upgrade _Tor Browser_ to version 5.0.3 (based on Firefox 38.3.0 ESR).
* Upgrade _I2P_ to version 0.9.22 and enable its AppArmor profile.

There are numerous other changes that might not be apparent in the daily operation of a typical user. Technical details of all the changes are listed in the [Changelog](https://git-tails.immerda.ch/tails/plain/debian/changelog).

## Fixed problems

  * Fix several issues related to _MAC address spoofing_: 
    * If MAC address spoofing fails on a network interface and this interface cannot be disabled, then all networking is now completely disabled.
    * A notification is displayed if MAC address spoofing causes network issues, for example if a network only allows connections from a list of authorized MAC addresses.
