Tails 6.15 has been released, showcasing several significant enhancements, particularly to the Tor Browser and the underlying Linux kernel. This version includes Tor Browser version 14.5.1 and updates the Linux kernel to 6.1.135. Notable improvements address data storage issues, ensuring that Tails does not store data in UEFI variables or ACPI tables in the event of a crash. Additionally, the appearance of the GRUB Boot Loader has been refined to work better with Secure Boot.
One important change is the removal of firmware for Wi-Fi interfaces that use BCM4301 and BCM4306 chips, which primarily affects older computer systems. Users relying on these older Wi-Fi interfaces may experience connectivity issues, and the Tails team encourages anyone facing such problems to reach out for support.
In summary, Tails 6.15 brings crucial updates and fixes that enhance user security and experience. Users are advised to refer to the changelog for comprehensive details regarding all changes and improvements. As technology evolves, ongoing support and updates like these help ensure that Tails remains a secure and user-friendly option for those seeking privacy-focused operating systems.
