# [Tails 5.13](
https://tails.boum.org/news/version_5.13/index.en.html)
# New features
* Add `curl`, a command line tool to download over HTTPS, FTP, and other protocols.
`curl` can be useful for online investigations as an alternative to `wget`.
Everything you do with `curl` goes through the Tor network. If you want to use
`curl` on a local network, use `/usr/bin/curl` instead.
# Changes and updates
* Use LUKS2 by default for all new Persistent Storage and LUKS encrypted volumes. LUKS2 provide stronger cryptography by default.
We will provide a migration plan from LUKS1 to LUKS2 for existing Persistent
Storage in Tails 5.14 (early June).
* Update _Tor Browser_ to [12.0.6](
https://blog.torproject.org/new-release-tor-browser-1206).

# Get Tails 5.13
## To upgrade your Tails USB stick and keep your persistent storage
* Automatic upgrades are available from Tails 5.0 or later to 5.13.
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).
