Tails 5.7Releases based on Debian and Privacy Protection: new metadata cleanup tool

CTOnews.com, Nov. 24, Tails 5.7 release, based on Debian and featuring privacy protection, has introduced some new tools in addition to enhancing existing features, updating existing components, and fixing many BUG.

Tails 5.7synchronizes the upstream software library of Debian GNU / Linux 11 "Bullseye" with the Linux Kernel 5.10 LTS kernel. A new tool called Metadata Cleaner (which will replace MAT) has been added in the new version to help you clean up the metadata in the file.

CTOnews.com learned that the development team said in the update log: "when we switched to MAT 0.8.0 in Tails 4.0, MAT lost its graphical interface and could only be accessed from the right-click menu in the file browser. It is particularly difficult for new users of Tails to learn how to clean up their files. Metadata Cleaner solves this problem by providing a simple and easy-to-find graphical interface to delete metadata.

This version also removes corrupted pdf-redact-tools packages from Live systems. You can click here to view the complete update log for additional details of the update components and other changes implemented in Tails 5.7.You can download them now from the official website.
