+
+Tails, The Amnesic Incognito Live System, version 1.2, is out.
+
+This release fixes [[numerous security
+issues|security/Numerous_security_holes_in_1.1.2]] and all users must
+[[upgrade|doc/first_steps/upgrade]] as soon as possible.
+
+[[!toc levels=1]]
+
+# Changes
+
+Notable user-visible changes include:
+
+  * Major new features
+    - Install (most of) the Tor Browser, replacing our previous
+      Iceweasel-based browser. The version installed is from TBB 4.0
+      and is based on Firefox 31.2.0esr. This fixes the
+      POODLE vulnerability.
+    - Upgrade Tor to 0.2.5.8-rc.
+    - Confine several important applications with AppArmor.
+
+  * Bugfixes
+    - Install Linux 3.16-3 (version 3.16.5-1).
+
+  * Minor improvements
+    - Upgrade I2P to 0.9.15, and isolate I2P traffic from the Tor
+      Browser by adding a dedicated I2P Browser. Also, start I2P
+      automatically upon network connection, when the `i2p` boot
+      option is added.
+    - Make it clear that *TrueCrypt* will be removed in Tails 1.2.1
+      ([[!tails_ticket 7739]]), and document how to open *TrueCrypt*
+      volumes with `cryptsetup`.
+    - Enable VirtualBox guest additions by default ([[!tails_ticket
+      5730]]). In particular this enables VirtualBox's display
+      management service.
+    - Make the OTR status in Pidgin clearer thanks to the formatting
+      toolbar ([[!tails_ticket 7356]]).
+    - Upgrade syslinux to 6.03-pre20, which should fix UEFI boot on
+      some hardware.
+
+See the [online
+Changelog](https://git-tails.immerda.ch/tails/plain/debian/changelog)
+for technical details.
