5 Tails, The Amnesic Incognito Live System, version 1.1, is out.
7 All users must [[upgrade|doc/first_steps/upgrade]] as soon as possible: this release fixes
8 [[numerous security issues|security/Numerous_security_holes_in_1.0.1]].
14 Notable user-visible changes include:
16 * Rebase on Debian Wheezy
17 - Upgrade literally thousands of packages.
18 - Migrate to GNOME3 fallback mode.
19 - Install LibreOffice instead of OpenOffice.
22 - UEFI boot support, which should make Tails boot on modern
23 hardware and Mac computers.
24 - Replace the Windows XP camouflage with a Windows 8 camouflage.
25 - Bring back VirtualBox guest modules, installed from Wheezy
26 backports. Full functionality is only available when using the
30 - Fix write access to boot medium via udisks ([[!tails_ticket 6172]]).
31 - Upgrade the web browser to 24.7.0esr-0+tails1~bpo70+1
32 (Firefox 24.7.0esr + Iceweasel patches + Torbrowser patches).
33 - Upgrade to Linux 3.14.12-1 (fixes CVE-2014-4699).
34 - Make persistent file permissions safer ([[!tails_ticket 7443]]).
37 - Fix quick search in Tails Greeter's Other languages window
38 (Closes: [[!tails_ticket 5387]])
41 - Don't install Gobby 0.4 anymore. Gobby 0.5 has been available in
42 Debian since Squeeze, now is a good time to drop the obsolete
44 - Require a bit less free memory before checking for upgrades with
45 Tails Upgrader. The general goal is to avoid displaying "Not
46 enough memory available to check for upgrades" too often due to
47 over-cautious memory requirements checked in the wrapper.
48 - Whisperback now sanitizes attached logs better with respect to
49 DMI data, IPv6 addresses, and serial numbers ([[!tails_ticket
50 6797]], [[!tails_ticket 6798]], [[!tails_ticket 6804]]).
51 - Install the BookletImposer PDF imposition toolkit.

59 * Users of persistence must log in at least once with persistence
60 enabled read-write after upgrading to 1.1 to see their settings
63 * Upgrading from ISO, from Tails 1.1~rc1, Tails 1.0.1 or earlier, is
64 a bit more complicated than usual. Either follow <a
65 href="#from_iso">the instructions to upgrade from ISO</a>. Or,
66 burn a DVD, start Tails from it, and use "Clone and Upgrade".
68 * The automatic upgrade from Tails 1.1~rc1 is a bit more complicated
69 than usual. Either follow <a href="#automatic">the instructions to
70 apply the automatic upgrade</a>. Or, do a full upgrade.
72 * A persistent volume created with Tails 1.1~beta1 cannot be used with
73 Tails 1.1 or later. Worse, trying this may freeze Tails Greeter.
75 * Tails 1.1 does not start in some virtualization environments, such
76 as QEMU 0.11.1 and VirtualBox 4.2. This can be corrected by
77 upgrading to QEMU 1.0 or VirtualBox 4.3, or newer
78 ([[!tails_ticket 7232]]).
80 * The web browser's JavaScript performance may be severely degraded
81 ([[!tails_ticket 7127]]). Please let us know if you are experiencing
82 this to a level where it is problematic.
84 * [[Longstanding|support/known_issues]] known issues.
