Subject: [tails-news] Tails 3.2 is out
This release fixes [many security issues](https://tails.boum.org/security/Nume
rous_security_holes_in_3.1/index.en.html) and users should upgrade as soon as
possible.

# Changes

## New features

* We added support for PPPoE and dial-up Internet connections.

Please [tell us](mailto:tails-testers@boum.org) if this still doesn't work for
you!

* We installed _[BookletImposer_](http://kjo.herbesfolles.org/bookletimposer/) to convert linear PDF documents into booklets, and vice-versa.

* We added _GNOME Screen Keyboard_ to replace _Florence_, the previous virtual keyboard, which had [many issues](https://labs.riseup.net/code/projects/tails/issues?utf8=%E2%9C%93&set_filter=1&f%5B%5D=cf_18&op%5Bcf_18%5D=%3D&v%5Bcf_18%5D%5B%5D=On-screen+keyboard&f%5B%5D=subject&op%5Bsubject%5D=%7E&v%5Bsubject%5D%5B%5D=Florence&f%5B%5D=fixed_version_id&op%5Bfixed_version_id%5D=%3D&v%5Bfixed_version_id%5D%5B%5D=294&f%5B%5D=&c%5B%5D=status&c%5B%5D=priority&c%5B%5D=fixed_version&c%5B%5D=subject&c%5B%5D=category&c%5B%5D=cf_15&c%5B%5D=assigned_to&c%5B%5D=cf_9&group_by=&t%5B%5D=).

## Upgrades and changes

* Upgrade _Linux_ to 4.12.12. This should improve the support for newer hardware, especially NVIDIA Maxwell graphics card.

* Upgrade _Thunderbird_ from 45.8 to 52.3.

### User experience

* Require a 8 GB USB stick to install Tails. 4 GB USB sticks that are already installed can still be upgraded.

* _Tails Installer_ now detects when the target USB stick has Tails installed already and automatically proposes to upgrade. This made possible to remove the initial splash screen.

### Security

* Disable _Bluetooth_ to protect against the _[BlueBorne_ attack](https://www.armis.com/blueborne/). [#14655](https://labs.riseup.net/code/issues/14655)

Please [let us know](mailto:tails-testers@boum.org) if this makes it hard for
you to use Tails!

* Increase the randomization of [ASLR](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Address%5Fspace%5Flayout%5Frandomization) to the maximum. [#11840](https://labs.riseup.net/code/issues/11840)

* Deny access to the D-Bus service of _Pidgin_ to prevent other applications to access and modify its configuration. [#14612](https://labs.riseup.net/code/issues/14612).

## Fixed problems

* Fix the import of secret OpenPGP keys in _Password and Keys_. [#12733](https://labs.riseup.net/code/issues/12733)

tails.immerda.ch/tails/plain/debian/changelog).
