[[Tails 5.8|news/version_5.8/]] was one of the most important Tails releases in years. In Tails 5.8, we unveiled a brand new Persistent Storage. The new Persistent Storage doesn't require restarting after creation or any time afteryou activate a new feature. It also made it easier to persist more settings.The icing on the cake: a dashing makeover for the Persistent Storage!
We also introduced better password practices for securing the Persistent Storage. Randomly generated [diceware](https://diceware.dmuth.org/) passphrases and an upgraded encryption format make the Persistent Storage [[exponentially more secure|security/argon2id]].
High footfall areas of the website got a new carpet too. Check out our new [[Contribute|contribute]], [[Support|support]], and [[Contact us|about/contact]] pages.
A huge shout-out to the volunteers who made these possible: [@jawlensky](https://gitlab.tails.boum.org/jawlensky) for the website redesign and to our [[Catalan translations team|contribute/how/translate/team/ca]]!
