We are very excited to present you with a release candidate of the upcoming
Tails 7.0.
We plan to release Tails 7.0 officially on October 16. You can help us by
testing this release candidate already.
Tails 7.0 will be the first version of Tails based on Debian 13 (Trixie) and
GNOME 48. It will bring new versions of many applications included in Tails.
We have tested 7.0~rc1 with the same extensive
automatic
and manual test suites
that we use for regular releases. But, Tails 7.0~rc1 might still contain
undiscovered issues.
We will provide automatic security upgrades for Tails 7.0~rc1, like we do for
regular versions.
