Hi, As already officially announced, we have now released Debian 8, "Jessie". There are too many people who should be thanked for their work on getting us to this point to list them all individually, and we would be sure to miss some. Nevertheless, we would like to particularly thank the installer team, the buildd and ftp teams, the CD team, the publicity team, the webmasters, the Release Notes editors, porters and all the package maintainers and translators who have contributed to making Jessie a great release of which we should all be proud. First point release =================== As was the case for Wheezy, we anticipate that the first point release for Jessie will likely occur in approximately a month's time. That has yet to be finalised, but we hope to be able to confirm the plans soon. Please co-ordinate fixes which you would like to see included in the point release with the Stable Release Team via a "pu" bug against the release.debian.org pseudopackage, including a debdiff of the current and proposed source packages. Stretch! ======== The release of Jessie also means that you can now upload to unstable those changes you've been holding off during the freeze. Please do not rush to upload everything all at once, in order to reduce load on the buildds etc. Automatic testing migration is not yet re-enabled, but that will happen during the next day or so. As with jessie, we would ask that you co-ordinate particularly large transitions or changes; if your plans involve major toolchain changes or otherwise have the potential to cause problems in unstable for a long time (e.g. due to FTBFS issues), please talk to us. We know that there are a large number of changes which have been waiting for the release to happen and we're keen not to stand in the way of those but would also like to avoid a number of larger transitions becoming entangled. That's it for now; it is time for the celebrations to begin, whether at a Release Party[PARTY] or otherwise. :-) Niels, Adam, and your Debian Jessie Release Team [PARTY] http://wiki.debian.org/ReleasePartyJessie
