5 Tails, The Amnesic Incognito Live System, version 0.17, is out.
7 All users must upgrade as soon as possible.
13 Notable user-visible changes include:
16 - Install the KeePassX password manager, with a configuration and
17 [[documentation|doc/encryption_and_privacy/manage_passwords]] that
18 makes it easy to persist the password database.
21 - Upgrade to Iceweasel 17.0.3esr-1+tails1~bpo60+1.
22 - Do not allow listing all available fonts.
23 - Improve default spellchecker dictionary selection.
24 - Disable the add-ons automatic update feature.
25 - Remove NoScript click-to-play confirmation.
26 - Sync some prefs set by Torbutton, to be ready when it stops setting these.
27 - Disable navigation timing.
29 - More aggressive iceweasel HTTP pipelining settings.
30 - Enable WebGL (as click-to-play only).
31 - Disable network.http.connection-retry-timeout.

41 - Many bugfixes brought by the Debian Squeeze 6.0.7 point-release.
42 - Use the regular GnuPG agent + pinentry-gtk2 instead of Seahorse
43 as a GnuPG agent. This fixes usage of OpenPGP in Claws Mail,
44 and brings support for OpenPGP smartcards.
45 - Enable I2P hidden mode.
46 Else, killing I2P ungracefully is bad for the I2P network.

48 This workarounds the lack of a shutdown helper applet in camouflage mode.
49 - Remove Pidgin's MXit and Sametime support to workaround security flaws.
