Filled with a bunch of important security fixes, Tails 3.0 Beta 3 is here about one week after the release of the second Beta milestone. It includes all the updates that have been released upstream in the Debian Testing repositories, which will soon become Debian GNU/Linux 9 “Stretch.” However, the Tails Greeter appears to be the component that received the most attention in this new Beta release, as it comes with a bunch of new keyboard shortcuts, namely Ctrl+Shift+N for accessing the Tor network settings, Ctrl+Shift+M for accessing the MAC spoofing settings, and Ctrl+Shift+A for setting an administrator password.
