This release fixes [many security issues](https://tails.boum.org/security/Numerous_security_holes_in_2.0.1/index.en.html) and users should upgrade as soon as possible.

## Upgrades and changes

  * Replace _Vidalia_, which has been unmaintained for years, with: 
    * a system status icon indicating whether Tails is connected to Tor or not,
    * [_Onion Circuits_](https://tails.boum.org/doc/anonymous_internet/Tor_status/index.en.html) to display a list of the current Tor circuits and connections.


* Automatically save the database of _KeePassX_ after every change to prevent data loss when shutting down. ([#11147](https://labs.riseup.net/code/issues/11147))

* Update _Tor Browser_ to 5.5.3.

    * Improve Japanese-style glyph display.
