en	New features

en	File system repair when unlocking the Persistent Storage

en	When the file system of the Persistent Storage has errors, Tails now offers you to repair the file system when unlocking from the Welcome Screen.

en	Because not all file system errors can be safely recovered this way, we wrote comprehensive documentation on how to [[recover data from the Persistent Storage|doc/persistent_storage/fsck]] using complementary techniques.

en	Improve the notification when a network interface is disabled because MAC address anonymization failed.
