Tails 7.15 has been released as a routine maintenance update, featuring Tor Browser 15.0.25 and refreshed firmware packages to enhance hardware support. This release focuses on security improvements, particularly with backported Firefox fixes to address vulnerabilities in the browser, which is a critical component for user anonymity. The update ensures that users can maintain their Persistent Storage during automatic upgrades, while new installations will wipe this data. Overall, Tails 7.15 prioritizes reliability and anonymity without introducing risky new features, making it a vital update for users reliant on this privacy-focused operating system

Tails 7.15 Released: Tor Browser 15.0.25 and Security Updates for Anonymity OS

Tails 7.15 shipped today, with the Tor Project tagging it as a routine "announce" maintenance release rather than a feature-packed update. The three headline changes are Tor Browser 15.0.25, Tor client 0.4.9.14, and refreshed firmware packages that improve support for newer Wi-Fi and graphics hardware. Because browsers are the most-attacked attack surface, the backported Firefox security fixes make this a worthwhile upgrade for privacy-focused users. Those on Tails 7.0 or later can upgrade automatically while keeping Persistent Storage, while fresh installs over it and wipe that data.
