<h2>Random seed</h2>

Tails now stores a random seed on the USB stick to strengthen all cryptography.

This random seed is stored [[outside of the Persistent Storage|contribute/design/random]] so that all users can benefit from stronger cryptography.

<h1 id="changes">Changes and updates</h1>

Switch to using HTTPS addresses instead of an onion addresses for the Debian and Tails APT repositories. This makes the [[Additional Software|doc/persistent_storage/additional_software]] feature more reliable.

- Update *Tor Browser* to [13.0.16](https://blog.torproject.org/new-release-tor-browser-13016).

- Update the *Tor* client to 0.4.8.12.

- Update *Thunderbird* to 115.12.0.

<h1 id="fixes">Fixed problems</h1>

Enable again the PDF reader of *Thunderbird* that we disabled in [[Tails 6.3|news/version_6.3]] for security.

Fix the homepage of *Tor Browser* when using the New Identity feature. This removes the error message `Tor Browser blocked your homepage from loading`. ([[!tails_ticket 20381]])

Remove the redundant dialog when unlocking a VeraCrypt volume using the *Unlock VeraCrypt Volumes* utility. ([[!tails_ticket 20281]])
