This release fixes [many security issues](
https://tails.boum.org/security/Nume
rous_security_holes_in_2.9.1/index.en.html) and users should upgrade as soon
as possible.
# Changes
## New features
* We installed _[OnionShare_](
https://tails.boum.org/doc/anonymous_internet/onionshare/index.en.html), a tool for anonymous file sharing.
* We enabled the [circuit view](
https://tails.boum.org/doc/anonymous_internet/Tor_Browser/index.en.html#circuit_view) in _Tor Browser_.
## Upgrades and changes
* Upgrade _Tor_ to 0.2.9.9.
* Upgrade _Tor Browser_ to 6.5.
* Upgrade _Linux_ to 4.8. This should improve the support for newer hardware (graphics, Wi-Fi, etc.)
* Upgrade _Icedove_ to 45.6.0.
* Replace _AdBlock Plus_ with _uBlock Origin_.
* Configure the _APT_ package manage to use Debian's Onion services.
* Install the _AMDGPU_ display driver. This should improve the support for newer AMD graphics adapters.
* Renamed the _Boot Loader Menu_ entries from "Live" to "Tails", and replaced the confusing "failsafe" wording with "Troubleshooting Mode".
* Add support for [exFAT](
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/exFAT).
* Remove _Nyx_ (previously called _arm_).
* Rewrite _Tor control port filter_ entirely. Now Tails can safely support _OnionShare_, the circuit view of _Tor Browser_, and similar. This also enabled Whonix to replace their own similar piece of software with this one.
## Fixed problems
* Made _OnionCircuits_ compatible with the _Orca_ screen reader.
