Tails 5.5 is out 2022-10-17

Changes and updates

  * Update Thunderbird to 102.3.0.

    Thunderbird 102 is a major update with many changes to the
    navigation, folder icons, and address book.

    Thunderbird 102 also includes important usability improvements to
    the OpenPGP feature. When composing an email, you can now see
    whether it will be encrypted or not. If encryption is impossible,
    a key assistant helps you solve key issues.

    Thunderbird composer window with encryption turned on and
    notification about a missing key and how to resolve the issue.

  * Update Tor Browser to 11.5.4.

  * Update the Linux kernel to 5.10.140. This should improve the
    support for newer hardware: graphics, Wi-Fi, and so on.

  * Make the wget command line utility use a different Tor circuit
    every time.

Fixed problems

  * Always ask to configure a screen locking password when pressing
    Ctrl+L and no administration pasword was set. (#19090)

  * Add standard fields to /etc/os-release. (#12372)

Known issues

None specific to this release.

Follow our installation instructions:

  * Install from Windows
  * Install from macOS
  * Install from Linux
  * Install from Debian or Ubuntu using the command line and GnuPG

The Persistent Storage on the USB stick will be lost if you install
