en	We are especially proud to present you Tails 5.0, the first version of Tails based on Debian 11 (Bullseye). It brings new versions of a lot of the software included in Tails and new OpenPGP tools.

en	New features

en	Kleopatra

en	We added [[*Kleopatra*|doc/encryption_and_privacy/kleopatra]] to replace the *OpenPGP Applet* and the *Password and Keys* utility, also known as *Seahorse*.

en	The *OpenPGP Applet* was not actively developped anymore and was complicated for us to keep in Tails. The *Password and Keys* utility was also poorly maintained and Tails users suffered from too many of its issues until now, like [[!tails_ticket 17183]].

en	*Kleopatra* provides equivalent features in a single tool and is more actively developed.

en	Changes and updates

en	The Additional Software feature of the Persistent Storage is enabled by default to make it faster and more robust to configure your first additional software package.

en	You can now use the Activities overview to access your windows and applications. To access the Activities overview, you can either:

en	Click on the Activities button.

en	Throw your mouse pointer to the top-left hot corner.

en	Press the Super ([[!img lib/start.png alt="" class="symbolic" link="no"]]) key on your keyboard.

en	You can see your windows and applications in the overview. You can also start typing to search your applications, files, and folders.

en	Included software

en	Most included software has been upgraded in Debian 11, for example:

en	- Update *Tor Browser* to [11.0.11](https://blog.torproject.org/new-release-tor-browser-11011).

en	Update *GNOME* from 3.30 to 3.38, with lots of small improvements to the desktop, the core *GNOME* utilities, and the locking screen.

en	Update *MAT* from 0.8 to 0.12, which adds support to clean metadata from SVG, WAV, EPUB, PPM, and Microsoft Office files.

en	- Update *Audacity* from 2.2.2 to 2.4.2.

en	- Update *Disk Utility* from 3.30 to 3.38.

en	- Update *GIMP* from 2.10.8 to 2.10.22.

en	- Update *Inkscape* from 0.92 to 1.0.

en	- Update *LibreOffice* from 6.1 to 7.0.

en	Hardware support

en	The new support for driverless printing and scanning in Linux makes it easier to make recent printers and scanners work in Tails.

en	Fixed problems

en	Fix unlocking *VeraCrypt* volumes that have very long passphrases. ([[!tails_ticket 17474]])

en	For more details, read our [[!tails_gitweb debian/changelog desc="changelog"]].

en	Known issues

en	<!--

en	Copy the known issues from the previous version if they haven't been solved or move them to /support/known_issues if more appropriate.

en	-->

en	*Additional Software* sometimes doesn't work when restarting for the first time right after creating a Persistent Storage. ([[!tails_ticket 18839]])

en	To solve this, install the same additional software package again after restarting with the Persistent Storage for the first time.

en	*Thunderbird* displays a popup to choose an application when opening links. ([[!tails_ticket 18913]])

en	- *Tails Installer* sometimes fails to clone. ([[!tails_ticket 18844]])

en	See the list of [[long-standing issues|support/known_issues]].
