New Release: Tails 5.19

New features

Closing a Tor circuit from Onion Circuits

You can now close a given Tor circuit from the Onion Circuits interface.
This can help replace a particularly slow Tor circuit or troubleshoot issues
on the Tor network.

Addition of sq-keyring-linter

At the request of people who use SecureDrop to
provide secure whistleblowing platforms across the world, we added the sq-
keyring-linter

package. sq-keyring-linter improves the cryptographic parameters of PGP keys
stored in their airgapped machines.
