There is some room for improvement with the current debian-installer page for Stretch: https://www.debian.org/releases/stretch/debian-installer/ contains the chapter for Stretch (stable) images ("To install Debian (stretch), download any of the following images "), Documentation and Errata, all for Stretch, but they are not relevant at the moment, of course. Should we set that parts to <if-stable-release release="stretch"> ? In the past, that respective chapter was just added when the new stable release happened, so that was not needed in the past, but I think it would be a fine improvement now. Additionally, I would add a small sentence on how to install Stretch now (basically a link to ../devel/debian-installer), which would be <if-stable-release release="jessie"> A proposal patch is attached, and also two html files, how the page would look like now (during Stable=Jessie) and after the next release (when Stable=Stretch).

full CD sets
full DVD sets
CD (via BitTorrent)
DVD (via BitTorrent)
Blu-ray (via jigdo)

If any of the hardware in your system requires non-free firmware to be loaded with the device driver, you can use one of the tarballs of common firmware packages or download an unofficial image including these non-free firmwares. Instructions how to use the tarballs and general information about loading firmware during an installation can be found in the Installation Guide (see Documentation below).
netinst (generally 240-290 MB) non-free CD images with firmware
Notes
If you read only one document before installing, read our Installation Howto, a quick walkthrough of the installation process. Other useful documentation includes:
This is a list of known problems in the installer shipped with

Improved versions of the installation system are being developed for the next Debian release, and can also be used to install stretch. For details, see the Debian-Installer project page.
