Tails OS new major version has been released! Tails is a operating system dedicating to protecting users from censorship and surveillance. Tails Wallet is a wallet built for Tails OS that has the same values. This release of Tails has a lot of improvements for users. Some of them are outlined below:

• Persistent Storage Error Detection - Persistent Storage is the feature that enables you to keep data between Tails boots. The new error detection capability will alert you if your persistent storage may be facing hardware issues. This is important since Tails is often run from less reliable USB hardware.
• Automatic Mounting - As a convenience external storage disks will now be mounted automatically and you will be asked for a password if they are encrypted.
• Selective Mounting - Automatic mounting comes with security tradeoffs. Devices that are plugged in while your lockscreen is activated will be ignored in order to reduce any security concerns.
• Dark / Night / Light mode - Different color profiles are now available in Tails.
• Tails Screenshotting - Taking screenshots is now much easier in Tails

Improvements in Tails Wallet Bitcoin / Litecoin / Monero support

The Tails Wallet team has not been sitting idle. At the same time Tails OS is improving so is Tails Wallet. The following improvements have occurred:

• Tails Bitcoin Wallet - Improvements in fee handling to ensure the lowest fee is always selected.
• Tails Litecoin Wallet - Improved remote node selection that will maximize privacy. By default remote nodes are more sticky. Since your list of wallet addresses has to be shared with the selected remote node it is important to reduce the number of remote nodes used over the lifetiem of a wallet.
• Tails Monero Wallet - Fee selection has been improved in order to counteract the Monero spam attack. In addition, the Monero churning feature has been improved in order to increase privacy in face of the Monero black marble attack.

Thank you for all the users of Tails Wallet and Tails OS. We have a lot of exciting improvements coming to Tails Wallet in the next months that we hope the community will find useful.
