* I've released and uploaded jigdo 0.8.0 with support for format v2 (mainly for end user clients). I'll upload backports of this as soon as possible, so I can get more people using it on (old)stable too. I've prepped and published the new website, complete with a set of Windows binaries for people to use. * I've released and uploaded jigit 1.22 (including libjte 2) with support for format v2. I've pushed a patch at Thomas so the next xorriso release should get this support. * I've just uploaded all the changes needed for debian-cd to use the new xorriso version and generate jigdo v2 format. It's still set to do v1 by default until we decide to switch I'll want to do a quick audit of the backend bits and pieces in the cdimage production and publishing next, but that's not urgent yet until... I'm going to make a big song and dance about these changes and the new software releases on my blog, and on the CD areas of the Debian website. We need to get users in the field updated so we can switch to the new format. I *want* to give people plenty of warning before we switch, starting with testing/bullseye images. /me heads off for an evening of game playing... :-) -- Steve McIntyre, Cambridge, UK.
