Tails v6.4: Random Seed on USB Stick to Strengthen Cryptography (1 min) Tails 6.4 has been released with several improvements and bug fixes. The new version strengthens all cryptography by storing a random seed on the USB stick. HTTPS addresses are now used instead of onion addresses for Debian and Tails APT repositories to make Additional Software more reliable. Tor Browser and Tor client have been updated to 13.0.16 and 0.4.8.12, respectively. Thunderbird has been updated to 115.12.0. More issues when unlocking the Persistent Storage have been fixed, along with connecting to a mobile broadband network on some hardware. The PDF reader of Thunderbird, which was disabled in Tails 6.3 for security reasons, has been enabled again. The error message of Tails Cloner has been improved, and the redundant dialog when unlocking a VeraCrypt volume using the Unlock VeraCrypt Volumes utility has been removed. Lastly, the homepage of Tor Browser no longer shows an error message when using the New Identity feature.
