Releasing Debian 11 doesn't mean Debian 10 "buster" is abandoned. Debian supports the previous version for at least twelve months following a new release, before it moves to the LTS and eLTS teams for further maintenance #ReleasingDebianBullseye

All images have now generated and the builder is cooling back down! Testing continues before they are released to the mirrors #ReleasingDebianBullseye

There are 31,387 source packages in Debian bullseye. #ReleasingDebianBullseye

bullseye is the first Debian release providing a Linux kernel which has support for the exFAT filesystem, and defaults to using it for mounting exFAT filesystems #NewInDebianBullseye #ReleasingDebianBullseye

So far, there are no show-stopping bugs revealed by CD testing so everything looks good for a smooth release #ReleasingDebianBullseye

The scanner on your combined printer/scanner device can also be accessed with driverless scanning, thanks to the new "sane-airscan" package. Try it today! #NewInDebianBullseye #ReleasingDebianBullseye

The systemd persistent journal is active in Debian 11 by default. It doesn't replace or conflict with traditional logging daemons such as rsyslog, but it can replace them if you wish #NewInDebianBullseye #ReleasingDebianBullseye

The Debian 11 bullseye desktop theme is Homeworld https://wiki.debian.org/DebianArt/Themes/Homeworld by Juliette Taka. Over 19 different themes were proposed. #ReleasingDebianBullseye

The first test images are arriving from the CD team and will be thoroughly tested by our army of helpers over the next few hours #ReleasingDebianBullseye

Say hello to bookworm: FTPMasters have created the next testing distribution, codename bookworm, as a copy of bullseye. It will get its first updates from the unstable suite in a few days time when the release cycle begins all over again #ReleasingDebianBullseye
