Linux 5.10 is the default kernel of this new Parrot version, with better hardware support for very recent hardware. We are evaluating the idea of continuing to provide a Rolling Release branch along side the LTS one. The Long Term Support conversion plan will also re-introduce ARM support and init freedom. We will catch the opportunity of a new Debian release to convert the current branch into a Long Term Support branch with fewer updates for a very reliable user experience. Parrot 4.11 will benefit from this, and all the updates from now on will be subject to more tests. You can upgrade an existing system via APT using one of the following commands:īut we recommend to do a backup and re-install the latest version to have a cleaner and more reliable user experience, especially if you come from a very old version of parrot that were not updated for a long while.e What’s new Debian freezing and LTS plansĭebian is in “feature freeze” state to prepare for the new stable release.
In fact every Parrot version represents exactly a refresh of our ISO files to collect all the updates together into something ready to install and properly tested.
Version numbers (like 4.10 or 4.11) are just tags that we assign to the current state of the project every time we think there are enough updates accumulated in the repo to justify a refresh of the ISO files. Parrot OS is a rolling release distribution, and updates flow in the repo as soon as they prove to be stable and reliable.
We also provide official torrent files in case direct downloads don’t work for you. You can download Parrot OS from our official download page, and we invite you to never trust third party and unofficial sources. This new version includes many important updates to make the distribution more reliable and more secure. We are proud to announce the release of Parrot OS 4.11.
