Tails 3.12 is a stable release that comes as an incremental update to the previous version, Tails 3.10, adding numerous many updated components from the upstream Debian repositories, security vulnerabilities, as well as other exciting changes. But the biggest news is that Tails can now be downloaded as a USB image along the standard ISO image. Under the hood, the Tails 3.12 release is powered by the long-term supported Linux 4.19 kernel series, which includes updated firmware and microcode for AMD and Intel CPUs to better support newer hardware. It also comes with up-to-date components, including the latest Tor Browser 8.0.5 anonymous web browser and Mozilla Thunderbird 60.4.0 email and news client.
