Hi, As announced officially, we have now released Debian 9, "Stretch". 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 Stretch a great release of which we should all be proud. First point release =================== As was the case for Jessie, we anticipate that the first point release for Stretch will likely occur in approximately one month's time. 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. Remember to use reportbug unless you enjoy crafting the metadata by hand. Buster ====== The release of Stretch 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 stretch, 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[1] or otherwise. :-) 1: https://wiki.debian.org/ReleasePartyStretch For the release team: -- Jonathan Wiltshire jmw@debian.org Debian Developer http://people.debian.org/~jmw 4096R: 0xD3524C51 / 0A55 B7C5 1223 3942 86EC 74C3 5394 479D D352 4C51
