# [Tails 5.4 is out](https://tails.boum.org/news/version_5.4/index.en.html)

# Changes and updates

  * Harden several aspects of our _Linux_ kernel. 
([#18302](https://gitlab.tails.boum.org/tails/tails/-/issues/18302), 
[#18858](https://gitlab.tails.boum.org/tails/tails/-/issues/18858), and 
[#18886](https://gitlab.tails.boum.org/tails/tails/-/issues/18886))

  * Disable HTTPS-only mode in the _Unsafe Browser_ to make it easier to sign 
in to Wi-Fi networks.

  * Update _Tor Browser_ to 
[11.5.2](https://blog.torproject.org/new-release-tor-browser-1152).

  * Update _tor_ to 0.4.7.10.

  * Update the _Linux_ kernel to 5.10.136. This should improve the support for 
newer hardware: graphics, Wi-Fi, and so on. It will also fix an important 
vulnerability 
([19081](https://gitlab.tails.boum.org/tails/tails/-/blob/master/19081))

[changelog](https://gitlab.tails.boum.org/tails/tails/-/blob/master/debian/changelog).

# Get Tails 5.4

## To upgrade your Tails USB stick and keep your persistent storage

  * Automatic upgrades are available from Tails 5.0 or later to 5.4.

You can [reduce the size of the
download](https://tails.boum.org/doc/upgrade/index.en.html#reduce) of future
automatic upgrades by doing a manual upgrade to the latest version.

  * If you cannot do an automatic upgrade or if Tails fails to start after an 
automatic upgrade, please try to do a [manual 
upgrade](https://tails.boum.org/doc/upgrade/index.en.html#manual).

## To install Tails on a new USB stick

Follow our installation instructions:

  * [Install from Windows](https://tails.boum.org/install/windows/index.en.html)
  * [Install from macOS](https://tails.boum.org/install/mac/index.en.html)

  * [Install from Debian or Ubuntu using the command line and 
GnuPG](https://tails.boum.org/install/expert/index.en.html)

The Persistent Storage on the USB stick will be lost if you install instead of
upgrading.
