## Changes and updates
- Change the home page of _Tor Browser_ in Tails to an _offline_ page, very similar to the home page of _Tor Browser_ outside of Tails, instead of an [_online_ page from our website](https://tails.net/home/).
- Improve the message when an [administration password](https://tails.net/doc/first_steps/welcome_screen/administration_password/) is required to open an application but no administration password was set in the Welcome Screen.
- Update _Tor Browser_ to [14.5.8](https://blog.torproject.org/new-release-tor-browser-1458).
- Update the _Tor_ client to 0.4.8.19.
- Update _Thunderbird_ to [140.3.0](https://www.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/140.3.0esr/releasenotes/).
- Remove the package `ifupdown`.
## Fixed problems
- Hide the message "_Your connection to Tor is not being managed by Tor Browser_ " in new tabs of _Tor Browser_. ([#21215](https://gitlab.tails.boum.org/tails/tails/-/issues/21215))
For more details, read our [changelog](https://gitlab.tails.boum.org/tails/tails/-/blob/master/debian/changelog).

Hi guys,
the version in [https://tails.net/install/v2/Tails/amd64/stable/latest.json](https://tails.net/install/v2/Tails/amd64/stable/latest.json) is still 7.0.
Please update that file to get the latest sha256 sums.
Thanks
