Tails 6.0 released

Tails 6.0 is now available. Based on Debian, Tails is a portable operating system designed to run from a USB stick and help users avoid surveillance and censorship. This release updates most Tails applications, and includes important security and usability improvements.

One major new feature in 6.0 is to provide warnings to users about errors when reading orwriting to persistent storage. This release now ignores USB devices plugged in while the screen is locked, and removes some file and disk-wiping features from the Files application that are "not reliable enough" on USB sticks and SSDs to continue offering to users.

Users of Tails prior to 6.0~rc1 will need to do a manualupgrade to retain persistent storage. New users can download Tails forUSB, or asan ISOto create a DVD or run Tails in a virtual machine.
