5 The Amnesic Incognito Live System, version 0.10, is out.
7 All users must upgrade as soon as possible.
13 Notable user-visible changes include:
15 * Tor: upgrade to 0.2.2.35-1.
18 - Install Iceweasel 9.0 from the Debian Mozilla team's APT repository.
19 - Update Torbutton to 1.4.5.1-1.
20 - Support viewing any YouTube video that is available in HTML5 format.
21 - Use Scroogle (any languages) instead of Scroogle (English only) when
22 booted in English. Many users choose English because their own
23 language is not supported yet; let's not hide them search results in
25 - Install the NoScript Firefox extension; configure it the same way as
27 - Disable third-party cookies. They can be used to track users, which
28 is bad. Besides, this is what TBB has been doing for years.
30 * Do not transparently proxy outgoing Internet connections through
31 Tor. Instead drop all non-Torified Internet traffic. Hence
32 applications has to be explicitly configured to use Tor in order
33 to reach the Internet from now on.
36 - Upgrade Vidalia to 0.2.15-1+tails1. This version will not warn about
37 new Tor versions (this is handled by Tails security check instead).
38 - Upgrade MAT to 0.2.2-1~bpo60+1.
39 - Upgrade VirtualBox guest software to 4.1.6-dfsg-2~bpo60+1,
40 built against the ABI of X.Org backports.
41 - Upgrade I2P to 0.8.11; the start script (which was broken in Tails
43 - Install unar (The Unarchiver) instead of the non-free unrar.
44 - [[Install Nautilus Wipe|doc/encryption_and_privacy/secure_deletion]] instead
45 of custom Nautilus scripts.
48 - Upgrade Linux kernel to 3.1.6-1.
49 - Upgrade to X.Org from squeeze-backports.
50 - Install more, and more recent b43 firmwares.
51 - Upgrade barry to 0.15-1.2~bpo60+1.
53 * Internationalization
54 - Add basic language support for Russian, Farsi and Vietnamese.
55 - Install some Indic fonts.
56 - Install some Russian fonts.
57 - Add Alt+Shift shortcut to switch keyboard layout.
60 - Support booting in "[[Windows XP-like camouflage
61 mode|doc/first_steps/startup_options/windows_camouflage]]".
62 - Do not fetch APT translation files. Running apt-get update is heavy enough.
63 - Add MSN support thanks to msn-pecan.
64 - Add custom SSH client configuration:
65 - Prefer strong ciphers and MACs.
66 - Enable maximum compression level.
67 - Explicitly disable X11 forwarding.
68 - Connect as root by default, to prevent fingerprinting when username
70 - Replace flawed FireGPG with a home-made GnuPG encryption applet;
71 install a feature-stripped FireGPG that redirects users to
73 documentation|doc/encryption_and_privacy/FireGPG_susceptible_to_devastating_attacks]],
74 and don't run Seahorse applet anymore.
75 - Blank screen when lid is closed, rather than shutting down the system.
76 The shutdown "feature" has caused data losses for too many people, it seems.
77 There are many other ways a Tails system can be shut down in a hurry
79 - Fix bug in the Pidgin nick generation that resulted in the nick
80 "XXX_NICK_XXX" once out of twenty.
81 - Pre-configure the #tor IRC discussion channel in Pidgin.
82 - Reintroduce the htpdate notification, telling users when it's safe
83 to use Tor Hidden Services.
84 - Various htpdate improvements.
86 Plus the usual bunch of minor bug reports and improvements.

98 The memory erasure on Tails shutdown cannot guarantee that all memory
99 in the 2 GB to 4 GB region is wiped. The improvements made in Tails
100 0.10 should at least make the situation better than previously.
