Debian 11 is now cascading to a mirror near you! If you can't wait any longer, the CD images are now available from https://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current/ #ReleasingDebianBullseye

CD images have been signed off - the release can continue #ReleasingDebianBullseye

The manual pages for several projects in a number of languages, including French, Spanish, and Macedonian, have been substantially improved. To benefit from this, please install manpages-xx package (where xx is the code for your preferred natural language) #NewInDebianBullseye #ReleasingDebianBullseye

The final image test is almost complete! #ReleasingDebianBullseye

There are 1,152,960,944 lines of code in Debian bullseye. #ReleasingDebianBullseye

More than 6,208 people have contributed to Debian. Some of the contributors are shown in https://contributors.debian.org/contributors/flat #ReleasingDebianBullseye

CD testing is nearing completion! The test matrix is quite extensive and most tests require real hardware so this is the most time-consuming part of the release process #ReleasingDebianBullseye

There are 645 tags in the Debtags vocabulary, with 102370 known packages to tag. Of these, 18093 were tagged by humans and 84277 were tagged by robots. #ReleasingDebianBullseye

CD testing is a great way to contribute to the release and get stuck into Debian. liz in Brisbane, AU has just filed her first ever bug report testing a live image! https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/DebianCd #ReleasingDebianBullseye

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
