Tails 1.7 is out

As per the website this release fixes numerous security issues. I'm very pleased about IceDove as there has been some controversy over ClawsMail and it is Thunderbird in all but name. Naturally it has support for gpg as well. Exciting times! :)

New Features

You can now start Tails in offline mode to disable all networking for additional security. Doing so can be useful when working on sensitive documents.

We added Icedove, a rebranded version of the Mozilla Thunderbird email client.
Icedove is currently a technology preview. It is safe to use in the context of Tails but it will be better integrated in future versions until we remove Claws Mail. Users of Claws Mail should refer to our instructions to migrate their data from Claws Mail to Icedove.
