Today, we are releasing 6.14.1 instead of 6.14 because we discovered an important issue while testing 6.14 on Tuesday and had to start the release process again to fix it.
New features
More flexible confinement of Tor Browser
We improved the confinement technology that we use to protect your files from possible security vulnerabilities in Tor Browser.
Until now, Tor Browser could only save downloads to and read files from a limited number of folders.
With Tails 6.14.1, you can safely access any folder in your Home folder or Persistent Storage from Tor Browser.
This new integration also solves other usability and accessibility issues:
The Large Text accessibility feature works in Tor Browser. (#19266)
The Cursor Size accessibility feature works in Tor Browser. (#19572)
The minimize and maximize buttons are available again in the title bar. (#19328)
These improvements rely on 2 security technologies: the flexibility of the new XDG Desktop Portals of Flatpak allowed us to relax the AppArmor confinement, improving usability without compromising on security.
Changes and updates
Update Tor Browser to 14.0.9.
Update the Tor client to 0.4.8.16.
Fixed problems
Fix the Welcome Screen freezing after unlocking the Persistent Storage. (#20783)
Add a clearer border to the Kleopatra window when on white background. (#20861)
Fix the error when closing the check for upgrades from About Tails. (#20861)
