Tárgy: [tails-news] Tails 1.7 is out
This release fixes [?](https://tails.boum.org/ikiwiki.cgi?do=create&from=news%2Fversion_1.7&page=security%2FNumerous_security_holes_in_1.7.1)numerous security issues. All users must upgrade as soon as possible.

# Changes

## New features

* You can now start Tails in [offline mode](https://tails.boum.org/news/../doc/first_steps/startup_options/offline_mode/index.en.html) to disable all networking for additional security. Doing so can be useful when working on sensitive documents.

* We added [Icedove](https://tails.boum.org/news/../doc/anonymous_internet/icedove/index.en.html), a rebranded version of the Mozilla Thunderbird email client.

Icedove is currently a technology preview. It is safe to use in the context of Tails but it will be better integrated in future versions until we remove [?](https://tails.boum.org/ikiwiki.cgi?do=create&from=inc%2Frelease_notes%2F1.7&page=claws_mail)Claws Mail. Users of Claws Mail should refer to our instructions to [migrate their data from Claws Mail to Icedove](https://tails.boum.org/news/../doc/anonymous_internet/claws_mail_to_icedove/index.en.html).

## Upgrades and changes

* Improve the wording of the first screen of Tails Installer.

* Restart Tor automatically if connecting to the Tor network takes too long. ([#9516](https://labs.riseup.net/code/issues/9516))

* Update several firmware packages which might improve hardware compatibility.

* Update the Tails signing key which is now valid until 2017.

* Update Tor Browser to 5.0.4.

* Update Tor to 0.2.7.4.

## Fixed problems

* Prevent wget from leaking the IP address when using the FTP protocol. ([#10364](https://labs.riseup.net/code/issues/10364))

* Prevent symlink attack on ~/.xsession-errors via tails-debugging-info which could be used by the amnesia user to bypass read permissions on any file. ([#10333](https://labs.riseup.net/code/issues/10333))

* Force synchronization of data on the USB stick at the end of automatic upgrades. This might fix some reliability bugs in automatic upgrades.

* Make the "I2P is ready" notification more reliable.
