<h1 id="features">New features</h1>

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.

<h1 id="changes">Changes and updates</h1>

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).
