38 How to automatically upgrade from 0.23?
39 =======================================
41 These steps allow you to automatically upgrade a device installed with <span
42 class="application">Tails Installer</span> from Tails 0.23 to Tails 1.0~rc1.
44 1. Start Tails 0.23 and [[set an administration
45 password|doc/first_steps/startup_options/administration_password]].
47 1. Run this command in a <span class="application">Root
48 Terminal</span> to select the "alpha" upgrade channel
49 and start the upgrade:
51 echo TAILS_CHANNEL=\"alpha\" >> /etc/os-release && \
52 tails-upgrade-frontend-wrapper
54 1. Once the upgrade has been installed, restart Tails and choose
55 <span class="menuchoice">
56 <span class="guimenu">System</span> ▸
57 <span class="guimenuitem">About Tails</span>
59 to confirm that the running system is Tails 1.0~rc1.
61 What's new since 0.23?
62 ======================
65 - Disable inbound I2P connections. Tails already restricts incoming
66 connections, but this change tells I2P about it.
67 - Fix link to the system requirements documentation page in the Tails
68 Upgrader error shown when too little RAM is available.
71 - Upgrade I2P to 0.9.12-2~deb6u+1.
72 - Import TorBrowser profile. This was forgotten in Tails 0.23 and even
73 though we didn't explicitly set those preferences in that release
74 they defaulted to the same values. This future-proofs us in case the
75 defaults would ever change.
76 - Import new custom version of Tor Launcher:
77 * Based on upstream Tor Launcher 0.2.5.3.
78 * Improve how Tor Launcher handles incomplete translation. (Tor
79 bug [[!tor_bug 11483]]; more future-proof fix for Tails bug
80 [[!tails_ticket 6885]])
81 * Remove the bridge settings prompt. (Tor bug [[!tor_bug 11482]];
82 closes Tails bug [[!tails_ticket 6934]])
83 * Always show bridge help button. (Tor bug [[!tor_bug 11484]])
