This release fixes [many security issues](
https://tails.boum.org/security/Nume
rous_security_holes_in_2.11/index.en.html) and users should upgrade as soon as
possible.
# Changes
## New features
* We installed again _GNOME Sound Recorder_ to provide a very simple application for recording sound in addition to the more complex _Audacity_. Sound clips recorded using _GNOME Sound Recorder_ are saved to the _Recordings_ folder.
## Upgrades and changes
* We removed _[I2P_](
https://tails.boum.org//geti2p.net/), an alternative anonymity network, because we unfortunately have failed to find a developer to maintain _I2P_ in Tails. Maintaining software like _I2P_ well-integrated in Tails takes time and effort and our team is too busy with other priorities.
* Upgrade _Linux_ to 4.9.13. This should improve the support for newer hardware (graphics, Wi-Fi, etc.).
For more details, read our [changelog](

tails.immerda.ch/tails/plain/debian/changelog).
