(deb-cat) Fwd: Debian 9 'Stretch' released
He fet un esborrany de comunicat públic a partir de la versió anterior: http://wiki.gilug.org/index.php/Alliberament_de_Debian_9 Extraient novetats destacables: - Que millora la seguretat de la sessió gràfica. - Que millora la verificació del programari original, i es modernitza el programari de xifratge (GPG), especialment útil a les comunicacions. - Que millora la compatibilitat amb ordinadors antics (UEFI-32) - Que s'inclou la nova versió de molt programari conegut, com per exemple LibreOffice 5 o PHP 7. Missatge reenviat Assumpte: Debian 9 "Stretch" released Reenviat-Data: Sun, 18 Jun 2017 06:26:39 + (UTC) Reenviat-De: debian-annou...@lists.debian.org Data: Sat, 17 Jun 2017 20:22:36 -1000 De: Ana Guerrero Lopez <a...@debian.org> A: debian-annou...@lists.debian.org The Debian Project https://www.debian.org/ Debian 9 "Stretch" released pr...@debian.org June 17th, 2017https://www.debian.org/News/2017/20170617 After 26 months of development the Debian project is proud to present its new stable version 9 (code name "Stretch"), which will be supported for the next 5 years thanks to the combined work of the Debian Security team [1] and of the Debian Long Term Support [2] team. 1: https://security-team.debian.org/ 2: https://wiki.debian.org/LTS Debian 9 is dedicated [3] to the project's founder Ian Murdock, who passed away on 28 December 2015. 3: http://ftp.debian.org/debian/doc/dedication/dedication-9.0.txt In "Stretch", the default MySQL variant is now MariaDB. The replacement of packages for MySQL 5.5 or 5.6 by the MariaDB 10.1 variant will happen automatically upon upgrade. Firefox and Thunderbird return to Debian with the release of "Stretch", and replace their debranded versions Iceweasel and Icedove, which were present in the archive for more than 10 years. Thanks to the Reproducible Builds project, over 90% of the source packages included in Debian 9 will build bit-for-bit identical binary packages. This is an important verification feature which protects users from malicious attempts to tamper with compilers and build networks. Future Debian releases will include tools and metadata so that end-users can validate the provenance of packages within the archive. Administrators and those in security-sensitive environments can be comforted in the knowledge that the X display system no longer requires "root" privileges to run. The "Stretch" release is the first version of Debian to feature the "modern" branch of GnuPG in the "gnupg" package. This brings with it elliptic curve cryptography, better defaults, a more modular architecture, and improved smartcard support. We will continue to supply the "classic" branch of GnuPG as gnupg1 for people who need it, but it is now deprecated. Debug packages are easier to obtain and use in Debian 9 "Stretch". A new "dbg-sym" repository can be added to the APT source list to provide debug symbols automatically for many packages. The UEFI ("Unified Extensible Firmware Interface") support first introduced in "Wheezy" continues to be greatly improved in "Stretch", and also supports installing on 32-bit UEFI firmware with a 64-bit kernel. The Debian live images now include support for UEFI booting as a new feature, too. This release includes numerous updated software packages, such as: * Apache 2.4.25 * Asterisk 13.14.1 * Chromium 59.0.3071.86 * Firefox 45.9 (in the firefox-esr package) * GIMP 2.8.18 * an updated version of the GNOME desktop environment 3.22 * GNU Compiler Collection 6.3 * GnuPG 2.1 * Golang 1.7 * KDE Frameworks 5.28, KDE Plasma 5.8, and KDE Applications 16.08 and 16.04 for PIM components * LibreOffice 5.2 * Linux 4.9 * MariaDB 10.1 * MATE 1.16 * OpenJDK 8 * Perl 5.24 * PHP 7.0 * PostgreSQL 9.6 * Python 2.7.13 and 3.5.3 * Ruby 2.3 * Samba 4.5 * systemd 232 * Thunderbird 45.8 * Tomcat 8.5 * Xen Hypervisor * the Xfce 4.12 desktop environment * more than 51,000 other ready-to-use software packages, built from a bit more of 25,000 source packages. With this broad selection of packages and its traditional wide architecture support, Debian once again stays true to its goal of being the universal operating system. It is suitable for many different use cases: from desktop systems to netbooks; from development servers to cluster systems; and for database, web, or storage servers. At the same time, additional quality assurance efforts like automatic installation and upgrade tests for all packages in Debian's archive ensure that "Stretch" fulfills the high expectations that users

A *huge* thank you to the Debian team! You guys rock! It was amazing to see how everyone worked so hard in those last few hours before release (I was in IRC for the first time in years, watching things unfold). > > 1: https://security-team.debian.org/ > 2: https://wiki.debian.org/LTS > > Debian 9 is dedicated [3] to the project's founder Ian Murdock, who > passed away on 28 December 2015. RIP. I don't know if he knew how big an impact he made in the computing world. But he'll always be a legend in my book. > 3: http://ftp.debian.org/debian/doc/dedication/dedication-9.0.txt > > In "Stretch", the default MySQL variant is now MariaDB.

I need to learn the differences between MariaDB and MySQL as the boss at work (we use Ubuntu there) wants MariaDB. > Firefox and Thunderbird return to Debian with the release of "Stretch", > and replace their debranded versions Iceweasel and Icedove, which were > present in the archive for more than 10 years. So I can remove that from my script! Cool! I didn't even know that. > Thanks to the Reproducible Builds project, over 90% of the source > packages included in Debian 9 will build bit-for-bit identical binary > packages.

THIS will be very useful especially for those who compile kernels or modules, I'm sure. I don't (anymore) and haven't in years. But with all the malware going around in other OSs, it's only a matter of time before it gets to be more of a problem in Debian. Luckily things are still safe and secure for the most part. And good to see it's going to always be that way. > Administrators and those in security-sensitive environments can be > comforted in the knowledge that the X display system no longer requires > "root" privileges to run. There were some talk in the chat about KVM and "permission denied" when using i915 chips. But as far as I can tell, that's an old issue and might be a kernel issue? I don't have any machines with an i915 type chip so I can't test it. But they were testing and some still had issues while someone else on an i386 with the same chip had no issues. > The "Stretch" release is the first version of Debian to feature the > "modern" branch of GnuPG in the "gnupg" package.

My spare laptop is too old for that. :) However, I might forget. I set my main laptop to "legacy" mode a long time ago.

I've had problems (with the rc4 stretch) with the ThinkPad T61 not opening the DVD tray, and also it saying install failed (and kept failing) after installing all the packages needed (after package selection). But when I used a USB stick and booted that, it worked just fine. Can't tell if it is the DVD drive or the media or what happened there. But if anyone has issues, try a USB stick.
