You can help Tails by testing the first beta for the upcoming version 4.0!
We are very excited about it and cannot wait to hear your feedback :)
# What's new in 4.0~beta1?
Tails 4.0 will be the first version of Tails based on Debian 10 (Buster). As
such, it upgrades essentially all included software.
We are particularly interested in detecting new problems with the following
hardware:
* Mac computers
* Recent Nvidia and ATI/AMD graphics cards
Other changes in Tails 4.0~beta1 include:
* Replace _KeePassX_ with [_KeePassXC_](
https://keepassxc.org/). ([#15297](
https://redmine.tails.boum.org/code/issues/15297))
* Add support for Thunderbolt devices. ([#5463](
https://redmine.tails.boum.org/code/issues/5463))
If you have a Thunderbolt device, please try using it.
Choose Devices ▸ Thunderbolt from the Settings utility to authorize your
Thunderbolt devices, if needed.

28](
https://christian.kellner.me/2018/04/23/the-state-of-thunderbolt-3-in-
fedora-28/) to see how Thunderbolt is integrated in GNOME.

You can install _Scribus_ again using the _[Additional

feature.

You can install _LibreOffice Math_ again using the _[Additional
