# [Tails 5.5 is out](https://tails.boum.org/news/version_5.5/index.en.html)

# Changes and updates

This section will be updated soon. Sorry for the inconvenience!

# Known issues

Recently, a [serious kernel vulnerability](https://lwn.net/Articles/911062/)
has been discovered in the Linux kernel. This is currently exploitable in
Tails.

See the list of [long-standing
issues](https://tails.boum.org/support/known_issues/index.en.html).

# Get Tails 5.5

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

  * Automatic upgrades are available from Tails 5.0 or later to 5.5.

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 Linux](https://tails.boum.org/install/linux/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.

## To download only

If you don't need installation or upgrade instructions, you can download Tails
5.5 directly:

  * [For USB sticks (USB
