We worked very hard last week to get ready to release the work on the connection to Tor that we have been showing you in [[4.19~beta1|test_4.19-beta1]] and [[4.19~rc1|test_4.19-rc1]]. We made a lot of progress but didn't feel confident enough to release it today.
So, we are releasing 4.19 as a regular upgrade and will release this work in 4.20. We will publish an updated rc2 in the coming days with even more improvements on the connection to Tor.
We broke automatic upgrades twice recently; once in December in [[4.14|news/version_4.15#broken-upgrades]] and again during a few days on [[!tails_ticket 18324 desc="May 15"]]. These 2 times, it was the consequence of a security feature: the pinning of the TLS certificate of our website when doing automatic upgrades.
We removed this feature because the recent problems proved us that this feature was not worth it if it makes us break automatic upgrades that often. ([[!tails_ticket 18324]])
