Tails website link: https://tails.boum.org/news/version_5.14/index.en.html
New Features:
- Persistent storage automatic migration to LUKS2 with Argon2id. Previous cryptographic standards used for persistent storage in Tails 5.12 and earlier are weak to state-sponsored attackers with physical device access. It will migrate automatically, butits's advised if you do not have a very strong password to change it.
- Option in Tails Installer to backup Persistent Storage
- Captive portal detection during Tor connection to allow signing into network when needed (such as motels)
- Donate option built into Electrum - Support the Tails team if you can!
