This release fixes [many security issues](https://tails.boum.org/security/Nume
rous_security_holes_in_2.10/index.en.html) and users should upgrade as soon as
possible.

# Changes

We are very sad to announce that Tails 2.11 will be the last version to
include [I2P](https://geti2p.net/), an alternative anonymizing network.

Maintaining software like I2P well-integrated in Tails takes time and effort
and our team is too busy with other priorities. Unfortunately, we failed to
find a developer outside of our team to maintain I2P in Tails. As a
consequence, the last version of I2P being shipped in Tails is _0.9.25_, which
is nearly one year old now at this moment.

But we will be happy to reintroduce I2P if we find a volunteer to take care of
maintaining it in Tails. If you are a developer and care about I2P in Tails,
that person could be you! Come [talk to
us](https://tails.boum.org/about/contact/index.en.html#tails-dev)!

## New features

* If running on a 32-bit processor, notify the user that it won't be able to start Tails 3.0 anymore. ([#12193](https://labs.riseup.net/code/issues/12193))

* Notify I2P users that I2P will be removed in Tails 2.12. ([#12271](https://labs.riseup.net/code/issues/12271))

## Upgrades and changes

* Upgrade Tor Browser to 6.5.1.

* Fix CVE-2017-6074 (local root privilege escalation) by disabling the `dccp` module. ([#12280](https://labs.riseup.net/code/issues/12280)) Also disable kernel modules for some other uncommon network protocols. (Part of [#6457](https://labs.riseup.net/code/issues/6457))

## Fixed problems

* Tor Browser: Don't show offline warning when opening the local documentation of Tails. ([#12269](https://labs.riseup.net/code/issues/12269))

* Fix rare issue causing automatic upgrades to not apply properly ([#8449](https://labs.riseup.net/code/issues/8449) and [#11839](https://labs.riseup.net/code/issues/11839))

* Install Linux 4.8.15 to prevent GNOME from freezing with Intel GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics. ([#12217](https://labs.riseup.net/code/issues/12217))
