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.

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

* Remove _Scribus_. ([#16290](https://redmine.tails.boum.org/code/issues/16290))

You can install _Scribus_ again using the _[Additional
Software](https://tails.boum.org/doc/first_steps/additional_software/index.en.html)_
feature.

* Remove _LibreOffice Math_. ([#16911](https://redmine.tails.boum.org/code/issues/16911))

You can install _LibreOffice Math_ again using the _[Additional
Software](https://tails.boum.org/doc/first_steps/additional_software/index.en.html)_
feature.

* Allow opening persistent volumes from other Tails USB sticks. ([#16789](https://redmine.tails.boum.org/code/issues/16789))

* Display _OpenPGP Applet_ on the left of the Tor status icon. ([#14796](https://redmine.tails.boum.org/code/issues/14796))

* Add the _Files_ browser to the list of favorite applications. ([#16799](https://redmine.tails.boum.org/code/issues/16799))

* Change the background of the boot menu. ([#16837](https://redmine.tails.boum.org/code/issues/16837))

* Use the default bookmarks from _Tor Browser_ instead of our own default bookmarks. ([#15895](https://redmine.tails.boum.org/code/issues/15895))

* Remove the _Home_ launcher from the desktop. ([#16799](https://redmine.tails.boum.org/code/issues/16799))

* Remove the default accounts in _Pidgin_. ([#16744](https://redmine.tails.boum.org/code/issues/16744))

Technical details of all the changes are listed in the
[Changelog](https://git-

# How to test Tails 4.0~beta1?

We will provide security upgrades for Tails 4.0~beta1 like we do for regular
versions of Tails.

Keep in mind that this is a test image. We tested that it is not broken in
obvious ways, but it might still contain undiscovered issues.
