en	New features

en	Metadata Cleaner

en	We added *Metadata Cleaner*, a new tool to clean metadata from your files.

en	[[!img metadata_cleaner.png link="no" alt=""]]

en	When we switched to *MAT* 0.8.0 in Tails 4.0, *MAT* lost its graphical interface and was only accessible from the contextual menu of the *Files* browser. It became especially hard for new users of Tails to learn how to clean their files. *Metadata Cleaner* fixes this by providing a simple and easily discoverable graphic interface to remove metadata.

en	*Metadata Cleaner* works on the same file formats and is as secure as *MAT* because *Metadata Cleaner* also uses *MAT* in the background to do the actual cleaning.

en	Changes and updates

en	Update *Tor Browser* to [11.5.8](https://blog.torproject.org/new-release-tor-browser-1158).

en	Update *tor* to 0.4.7.11.

en	Remove `pdf-redact-tools`, which was broken. ([[!tails_ticket 19250]])

en	Fixed problems

en	We fixed 2 small usability issues in *Tor Connection*:

en	Explain better how to use the *Unsafe Browser* to sign in to a local network. ([[!tails_ticket 19168]])

en	Remove the *(easier)* and *(safer)* comments in the first screen. ([[!tails_ticket 19166]])

en	For more details, read our [[!tails_gitweb debian/changelog desc="changelog"]].

en	Known issues

en	Progress bar of Tor Connection getting stuck around 50%

en	When using a custom Tor `obfs4` bridge, the progress bar of *Tor Connection* sometimes gets stuck halfway through and becomes extremely slow. ([[!tails_ticket 19173]])

en	To fix this, you can either:

en	Close and reopen *Tor Connection* to speed up the initial connection.

en	Try a different `obfs4` bridge.

en	We believe that this issue should not happen with an up-to-date bridge running `obfs4proxy` version 0.0.12 or later.

en	See the list of [[long-standing issues|support/known_issues]].

en	To upgrade your Tails USB stick and keep your Persistent Storage

en	Automatic upgrades are available from Tails 5.0 or later to 5.7.
