Releases

Wereleased Tails 5.10 on February 16
<https://tails.boum.org/news/version_5.10/index.en.html>.

As part of our focus on polishing user experience, Tails now asks for
confirmation when starting without unlocking the Persistent Storage.
Because we humans sometimes forget stuff. It's OK :)

Tails 5.10 fixed a few problems introduced in Tails 5.8 in December, and
some more:

*

    Fixed another case of Persistent Storage not activating. (#19432
    <https://gitlab.tails.boum.org/tails/tails/-/issues/19432>)


*

    Avoid opening the Persistent Storage settings each time after login.
    (#19410 <https://gitlab.tails.boum.org/tails/tails/-/issues/19410>)


*

    Solve a possible privilege escalation through a symlink attack.
