5 Tails, The Amnesic Incognito Live System, version 1.2.2, is out.
7 This release is an emergency release that changes the root certificate
8 which is used to verify automatic upgrades.
10 On January 3rd, the SSL certificate of our website hosting provider,
11 boum.org, will expire. The new certificate will be issued by a different
12 certificate authority. This certificate authority is verified by the
13 automatic upgrade mechanism of Tails.
15 As a consequence, versions
16 previous to 1.2.2 won't be able to do the next automatic upgrade to
17 version 1.2.3 and will receive an error message from *Tails Upgrader*
18 when starting Tails after January 3rd.
20 On top of that, a [[!tails_ticket 8449 desc="bug in *Tails Upgrader*"]]
21 prevents us from providing an automatic upgrade from version 1.2.1 to
24 So all users should either:
27 upgrade|doc/first_steps/upgrade#manual]] to version 1.2.2 before January
29 - Remember to do a manual upgrade to version 1.2.3 on January 14th.
37 - Change the SSL certificate authority expected by Tails Upgrader
38 when checking for new Tails versions on https://tails.boum.org/.
