Just a few moments ago, the development team behind the Tails amnesic incognito live Linux kernel-based operating system, which was used by the famous Edward Snowden to stay hidden online, announced the release of Tails 1.8.

Among the new features implemented in Tails 1.8, we can mention the addition of the Icedove open-source software as the default email client, replacing Claws Mail. For those who are not in the loop, Icedove is a rebranded version of Mozilla Thunderbird.
