Releases

It fixes many usability and reliability issues in the new Persistent Storage:

After you turn off a feature of the Persistent Storage, you can now click the Delete Data button to delete the data stored for this feature.
When creating the Persistent Storage, a random and very secure passphrase is now displayed as a suggestion, using the diceware technique.
Use a new icon for the backup utility for the Persistent Storage.
Improve the error message when a feature of the Persistent Storage fails to activate from the Welcome Screen to clarify which feature is affected.
Make the activation of the Persistent Storage more reliable in 2 error cases. (#19376 and #19331)
Add a progress indicator while turning on a new feature to clarify that it can take some time. (#19291)
Make sure that all data that is already available in Tails is really copied to the USB stick when turning on a feature. (#19368)

Tails has been started more than 724 299 times this month. This makes 24 143 boots a day on average.
