The Parrot Security OS 3.5 release comes a little over two months after the first and also the last maintenance update to the Parrot Security OS 3.4 series, and includes quite some improvements and new features, starting with native VirtualBox and VMware virtual machine guest support and the latest, long-term supported Linux 4.9.13 kernel. Prominent new features included in Parrot Security OS 3.5 are out-of-the-box printing support via the latest CUPS (Common Unix Printing System) drivers, experimental support for the Cinnamon desktop environment, re-implementation of the ZuluMount mount utility for zuluCrypt, and the Cryptkeeper encrypted folders manager tool.
