# [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).

[Tor Browser 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.

* Display the version of Tails in the Boot Loader

* 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))

For more details, read our
[changelog](https://gitlab.tails.boum.org/tails/tails/-/blob/master/debian/changelog).

# Get Tails 5.15.1

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

* Automatic upgrades are available from Tails 5.0 or later to 5.15.1.

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

* 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).

## To install Tails on a new USB stick

Follow our installation instructions:

* [Install from Windows](https://tails.boum.org/install/windows/index.en.html)

* [Install from Debian or Ubuntu using the command line and GnuPG](https://tails.boum.org/install/expert/index.en.html)

The Persistent Storage on the USB stick will be lost if you install instead of
upgrading.
