Tool Upgrades
This release largely features various tweaks and bug fixes but there are still many updated tools including seclists, msfpc, and exe2hex.
For the complete list of updates, fixes, and additions, please refer to the Kali Bug Tracker Changelog.
ARM Updates

Upgrade to Kali Linux 2019.2
If you already have a Kali installation you’re happy with, you can easily upgrade in place as follows.
Code:
root@kali:~# apt update && apt -y full-upgrade
Ensuring your Installation is Updated
To double check your version, first make sure your Kali package repositories are correct.
Code:
root@kali:~# cat /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://http.kali.org/kali kali-rolling main non-free contrib
Then after running ‘apt -y full-upgrade’, you may require a ‘reboot’ before checking:
Code:
root@kali:~# grep VERSION /etc/os-release
VERSION="2019.2"
VERSION_ID="2019.2"
root@kali:~# uname -a
Linux kali 4.19.0-kali4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.19.28-2kali1 (2019-03-18) x86_64 GNU/Linux
