Scheduled Maintenance: We are aware of an issue with Google, AOL, and Yahoo services as email providers which are blocking new registrations. We are trying to fix the issue and we have several internal and external support tickets in process to resolve the issue. Please see: viewtopic.php?t=158230
During release all of the automated archive maintenance services are disabled, including for stable distributions. The archive will be administered manually by an FTP master during the release process, and automated services are usually enabled on the day after release. #ReleasingDebianBookworm

I want to keep my system purely on stable and upgrade at the soonest possible moment after the release is officially out.

Reason:*Edit I removed your link so more people would not read it and think it was now available.
I'm pushing the items to micronews and posting here at the same time.
We have quite some time before the release goes live.
The page earlier was in error, I jumped the gun with outdated instructions, sorry about that.

Every Debian release includes errata and bookworm is no different. The first update to the stable suite is usually expected about 4-6 weeks after release and includes fixes for issues discovered late in the development process. Check the release notes for more information about the known issues. #ReleasingDebianBookworm #Debian12 #Debian

Upgrades by users immediately after a Debian release place a significant load on the mirror network. In July 2019 the release of buster saw nearly 1GiB/s peak file downloads for several days on some networks, whilst in August 2021 the releasing bullseye caused 1.05GiB/s. That's over 840Gbps network bandwidth! More statistics are available at https://www.accum.se/technical/statisti ... nitordata/ #ReleasingDebianBookworm #Debian

Shouldn't that be "8.4Gbps"? There are 8 bits in a byte.

Image testing is approaching the final stages, with only a couple of minor issues found. So far they are not serious enough to hold up the rest of the process #ReleasingDebianBookworm #Debian #Debian12

If you never bring this up again, I will send you an AOL CD.

Debian is translated into many languages, and that includes the supporting materials. Even the release announcement itself will initially be made in Czech, German, French and Swedish as well as English, and other languages will be added in the coming days #ReleasingDebianBookworm #Debian #Debian12 #i18n

Okay, so I can confirm that http://deb.debian.org/debian/dists/stable/InRelease does now indeed point to bookworm, and testing points to trixie. However, the front page (debian.org) still doesn't announce the update.
@MiracleDinner We are waiting for the website rebuild task to complete, it has been ... quite some time now. As soon as it completes, everything goes live. The job has been running for north of 30 minutes at this point.

The Debian Astro blend comes with everything those who are interested in astronomy could ask for, all packages were recently updated and a few new packages have been introduced such as openvlbi for radio astronomers. #ReleasingDebianBookworm #Debian12 #Debian
