Tails 7.0 released

Date:
Thu, 18 Sep 2025 13:52:28 +0000

Description:
Version
7.0 of the Tails portable
operating system has been released. This is the first version of Tails
based on Linux 6.12.43, Debian13 ("trixie") and GNOME48. It uses ztsd instead 
of xz to compress the USB and ISO images to deliver a
faster start time on most computers. The release is dedicated to the memory 
of Lunar , " a
traveling companion for Tails, a Tor volunteer, Free Software hacker,
and community organizer ": Lunar has always been by our side throughout 
Tails' history. From
the first baby steps of the project that eventually became Tails, to
the merge with Tor, he's provided sensible technical suggestions,
out-of-the-box product design ideas, outreach support, and caring
organizational advice. Outside of Tor, Lunar worked on highly successful Free 
Software
projects such as the Debian project, the Linux distribution on which
Tails is based, and the Reproducible Builds project, which helps us verify 
the integrity of Tails releases . See the changelog for a full list of fixes, 
upgraded applications, and removals. LWN covered Tails
Project team leader intrigeri's DebConf25 talk in July.
