What's New in This Release: [ read full changelog ]

· The new images do not constitute a new release, at least not for anyone who is content with using the previous 20111125 images. However, due to some concerns which were expressed over the default use of backport packages, there are now 2 sets of images, "stable" and "backported".

· The stable images ship with Debian's stable kernel (2.6.32) and stable X.org (7.5), while the "backported" images ship with Linux 3.2 and X.org (7.6) and automatically track any packages that enter the Debian backport repository. Both sets of images use backported versions of Iceweasel (10) and Geany (0.20).
