[Tails-testers] [Tails-news] Tails 4.11 is out

This release fixes [many security
vulnerabilities](https://tails.boum.org/security/Numerous_security_holes_in_4.10/).
You should upgrade as soon as possible.

# New features

* We added a new feature of the Persistent Storage to save the settings from the Welcome Screen: language, keyboard, and additional settings.

To restore your settings when starting Tails, unlock your Persistent Storage
in the Welcome Screen.

# Changes and updates

* Update _Tor Browser_ to [10.0](https://blog.torproject.org/new-release-tor-browser-100).

* Update _Thunderbird_ to [68.12](https://www.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/68.12.0/releasenotes/).

* Update _Linux_ to 5.7.17. This should improve the support for newer hardware (graphics, Wi-Fi, etc.).

* Configure _KeePassXC_ to use the new default location _Passwords.kdbx_. ([#17286](https://gitlab.tails.boum.org/tails/tails/-/issues/17286))

* Update python3-trezor to 0.11.6 to add compatibility with the new Trezor Model T.

# Fixed problems

* Disable the feature to **Turn on Wi-Fi Hotspot** in the Wi-Fi settings because it doesn't work in Tails. ([#17887](https://gitlab.tails.boum.org/tails/tails/-/issues/17887))

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

# Get Tails 4.11

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

* Automatic upgrades are available from Tails 4.2 or later to 4.11.

* 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).
