Hi intrigeri,

We scheduled the 10.5 release next Tuesday, but you can safely pick up
10.5.1 on 13 July.

The largest change in 10.5 is the new default bootstrapping UI/UX, but
you can use the old (tor-launcher) UI by setting the envvar
TOR_USE_LEGACY_LAUNCHER.

The other changes in 10.5 shouldn't impact Tails (afaik):
  - Adding support for snowflake
  - Adding warning page when visiting a v2 onion address (global, once
    per session)
  - Dropping support for CentOS 6


Let us know if you have any questions/concerns about any changes.
