[[!tag announce]]

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.

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

Kleopatra

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

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]].

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