# [Tails 5.15.1](https://tails.boum.org/news/version_5.15.1/index.en.html)

# Changes and updates

* Update _Tor Browser_ to [12.5](https://blog.torproject.org/new-release-tor-browser-125).

has a new circuit view and better information about onion services.

* Support onion service authentication in _Tor Browser_.

For example, onion service authentication is used by _OnionShare_ outside of
Tails.

* Make the upgrade of the Persistent Storage more reliable:

    * On some systems, the message " _Upgrading the persistent storage_ " was displayed every time in Tails 5.14 when Tails failed to upgrade one of the cryptographic parameters. ([#19734](https://gitlab.tails.boum.org/tails/tails/-/issues/19734))

    * On some USB sticks, upgrading the Persistent Storage was too slow and failed with the error message " _Upgrade of persistent storage failed_ ". ([#19728](https://gitlab.tails.boum.org/tails/tails/-/issues/19728))

* Fix opening documentation links from _Tails Installer_. ([#19870](https://gitlab.tails.boum.org/tails/tails/-/issues/19870))

* Prevent _Tor Browser_ to access information about other Tor circuits. ([#19740](https://gitlab.tails.boum.org/tails/tails/-/issues/19740))

* Make the error when scanning the QR code of a bridge more consistent. ([#19737](https://gitlab.tails.boum.org/tails/tails/-/issues/19737))

download](https://tails.boum.org/doc/upgrade/index.en.html#reduce) of future
automatic upgrades by doing a manual upgrade to the latest version.
