The Tails Project announced Tails 7.17, featuring updates to Tor Browser 16.0.1, the Tor client, and Linux kernel 6.12.116.
The release supports automatic upgrades from version 7.0 while preserving persistent storage.
The new update mainly brings upgrades to core software. The web browser has been upgraded to version 16.0.1, while the Tor internals have also been updated to version 0.4.9.16. At the same time, the system kernel has been updated to version 6.12.116. The official announcement does not mention the addition of new features or bug fixes.
How to upgrade
Those already using version 7.0 or later can upgrade automatically. The automatic process keeps users' saved files and personal settings intact.
If the automatic upgrade fails or the system does not boot, the developers recommend a manual process. New users can download version 7.17 as a USB or DVD file, but those who choose to install the system on an existing USB instead of upgrading will lose their saved files.
