Tails report for December 2023 <https://tails.net/news/report_2023_12/>
Happy 2024, Tails-y folks! We wish you a year full of nourishing
energies, forceful resistance, and great health ✊🏽
Highlights
*
2023 was an eventful year at Tails. We kicked off the 1st year of
our 3-year strategic plan with 16 releases of Tails, significant
improvements to core Tails features like the new Persistent Storage,
and researched cool, new features we want to bring to you. In
parallel, we started moving into a new home <https://tails.net/> and
made investments to become a more sustainable project and a
healthier workplace. Read more about 2023 at Tails here

We are raising funds for our work in 2024 but our annual fundraising
campaign has fallen short of our goal. So, we've extended our
fundraiser till January 20, 2024. If you find our work useful and
can contribute, we'd appreciate your help. Every contribution, no
matter the size, makes a big difference. Donate now!

Talking about contributions that make a difference, we remain ever
so grateful to our sponsors! Last month, wordsolver.co
<https://wordsolver.co/> renewed their sponsorship of Tails. This is
the 3rd year of their support for Tails' mission! Thank you 💜
Releases
We released Tails 5.21
<https://tails.net/news/version_5.21/index.en.html>. In 5.21:
*
/Tor client/ and /Tor Browser/ are up-to-date
*
we improved Tails's handling of date and time: you'll find localised
dates in the top navigation, and separately, we replaced the
unpunctual web servers in our htpdate pool
*
the backup feature of /Tails Cloner/ is friendlier to use. Thanks
@BenWestgate <https://gitlab.tails.boum.org/BenWestgate>!
And lots more
