Debian 8.0 “Jessie” enters feature freeze

Debian is one of the largest and longest lived GNU/Linux distributions. The project forms the foundation of many other popular Linux-based operating systems, including Ubuntu, Linux Mint, and Raspbian. The Debian project announced this week that the distribution’s Testing repository, called “Jessie”, has entered a feature freeze. This means Debian’s Jessie branch will not receive any new features nor any significant software upgrades. From now until Debian’s upcoming stable release is launched, the Jessie repository will accept only important bug fixes and updated translations. Based on the time-line presented by Debian’s freeze policy it seems as though Debian 8.0 will be released in late February.
