# [Tails 5.17](
https://tails.boum.org/news/version_5.17/index.en.html)
# Changes and updates
* Rename _Tails Installer_ as _Tails Cloner_. ([#16907](
https://gitlab.tails.boum.org/tails/tails/-/issues/16907))
* Install more printer drivers and enable all printers automatically. ([#18254](
https://gitlab.tails.boum.org/tails/tails/-/issues/18254))
* Update _Tor Browser_ to [12.5.3](
https://blog.torproject.org/new-release-tor-browser-1253).
* Update _Thunderbird_ to [102.15.0](
https://www.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/102.15.0/releasenotes/).
# Fixed problems
* Fix some failures while unlocking the Persistent Storage. ([#19728](
https://gitlab.tails.boum.org/tails/tails/-/issues/19728))
Sometimes, _upgrading_ the cryptographic parameters of the Persistent Storage
was taking too long and made _unlocking_ the Persistent Storage fail. We
allowed the _upgrade_ to take more time before reporting a failure.
Please keep reporting errors using
[_WhisperBack_](
https://tails.boum.org/doc/first_steps/bug_reporting/index.en.html)
if you have problems unlocking your Persistent Storage.
For more details, read our
[changelog](
https://gitlab.tails.boum.org/tails/tails/-/blob/master/debian/changelog).
# Known issues

# Get Tails 5.17

* Automatic upgrades are available from Tails 5.0 or later to 5.17.
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).
