Coming exactly one month after the third Beta milestone, Tails 3.0 Beta 4 is here with all the latest and most important security updates and bug fixes ported from the repositories of the upcoming Debian GNU/Linux 9 “Stretch” operating system. It also includes all the changes implemented in the Tails 2.12 release. There’s not much in Tails 3.0 Beta 4 besides the security fixed backported from the Debian Testing repos, except for various small improvements to the Tails Greeter and Orca screen reader. Also, it looks like the system tray icon of the Pidgin multi-protocol instant messenger app was replaced with the guifications plugin.
