Debian 12 "bookworm" released

June 10th, 2023

After 1 year, 9 months, and 28 days of development, the Debian project is proud to present its new stable version 12 (code name "bookworm").

"bookworm" will be supported for the next 5 years thanks to the combined work of the Debian Security team and the Debian Long Term Support team.

Following the 2022 General Resolution about non-free firmware, we have introduced a new archive area making it possible to separate non-free firmware from the other non-free packages...
...
This release contains over 11,089 new packages for a total count of 64,419 packages, while over 6,296 packages have been removed as "obsolete". 43,254 packages were updated in this release. The overall disk usage for "bookworm" is 365,016,420 kB (365 GB), and is made up of 1,341,564,204 lines of code.
...
A total of nine architectures are officially supported for "bookworm":
	...
	IBM System z (s390x)		# (Lyz?)
...
The ntp package has been replaced with the *ntpsec* package (ESR), with the default system clock service now being systemd-timesyncd; there is also support for chrony and openntpd.
... lots more in TFA.

Later,
JP
