This release fixes a [high severity security issue in
tor](
https://forum.torproject.net/t/stable-release-0-4-7-8/3679), that affects
performance and possibly anonymity.
# Changes and updates

* Update _Thunderbird_ to [91.10](
https://www.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/91.10.0/releasenotes/).
* Update the _Linux_ kernel to 5.10.120. This fixes important security issues.

# Get Tails 5.1.1
## To upgrade your Tails USB stick and keep your persistent storage
* Automatic upgrades are available from Tails 5.x.
* 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).
