# [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

None specific to this release.

See the list of [long-standing
issues](https://tails.boum.org/support/known_issues/index.en.html).

# Get Tails 5.17

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

* 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).

## 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 macOS](https://tails.boum.org/install/mac/index.en.html)
* [Install from Linux](https://tails.boum.org/install/linux/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.

## To download only

If you don't need installation or upgrade instructions, you can download Tails
5.17 directly:

* [For USB sticks (USB image)](https://tails.boum.org/install/download/index.en.html)
* [For DVDs and virtual machines (ISO image)](https://tails.boum.org/install/download-iso/index.en.html)
