Tails 7.6 released
Tails 7.6 introduces automatic Tor bridge detection that pulls region-specific relays to bypass internet censorship without manual setup. The password manager switches from KeePassXC to a new tool called Secrets, which restores screen reader support while keeping your old database files working perfectly. Under the hood you get fresh versions of Tor Browser and Thunderbird paired with firmware updates that fix compatibility for newer graphics cards and Wi-Fi adapters. Existing installations on version 7.0 or higher can upgrade automatically, but there is a manual fallback option if the system refuses to start after the update.
