The Tails Project released Tails 2.4, a major version of the anonymous Live CD based on Debian GNU/Linux, which was used by ex-CIA employee Edward Snowden to stay hidden online and protect his privacy.
When compared with the previous release, we can notice that Tails 2.4 includes some big changes, among which we can mention the upgrade to Debian GNU/Linux 8.4 "Jessie" and the inclusion of the recently released Tor Browser 6.0 anonymous browser, which is based on the open-source Mozilla Firefox 45.2 web browser.
Another interesting feature is the enablement of the automatic configuration wizard for the Icedove free (libre) email and news suite. The Tails developers managed to patch Icedove to use and accept only secure protocols, but keep the enhancements from the TorBirdy project, a Mozilla Thunderbird add-on for connecting to the Tor network.
