The team behind the Tails Operating System have announced
the availability of Tails 4.0, the first major released to be based on Debian 10. With the re-basing of the operating system, new software is included – two important software packages that were updated are the Linux kernel which adds support for new hardware, and the Tor Browser which was bumped to version 9.0 and stops websites identifying you based on the size of the browser windows using a technique called letterboxing.

Other software packages that were updated include KeePassXC which has replaced KeePassX, OnionShare has been upgraded to 1.3.2 bringing usability improvements, the metadata cleaner tool, MAT, has been upgraded to 0.8.0 and loses its graphical interface and now appears in the right-click menu instead, Electrum has been upgraded to 3.3.8 and works in Tails again, Enigmail was updated to mitigate OpenPGP certificate flooding, and Audacity, GIMP, Inkscape, LibreOffice, git, and Tor all received upgrades too.
