Please advise if there is any difference between this release candidate
and an installed beta release that has been kept up-to-date.

Good work :) Thanks to all of you involved. I'll definitely try to be a
(more active) contributor to the ascii and ceres releases.

Thanks a lot again. More of my boxes will be moved from Debian to
Devuan in due time. Keep up the good work!

\o/ dance-dance-dance \o/ -- Thanks for much hard work.

I see https://devuan.org still shows the old devuan_jessie_beta.torrent
(no longer working) instead of a new .torrent pointing to the RC. The
empty installer-iso/ is sure to get questions as well, as it is
mentioned in the README. 

By the way, http://mirror.math.princeton.edu/pub/devuan/ (listed on
https://devuan.org, not listed on
https://devuan.org/os/mirrors/files.devuan.org) doesn't have the
README.txt files at present.

There is a similar but incomplete list at https://devuan.org/os/mirrors.
Should this link to the same file?

Hope you have a fun weekend anyway.

[DNG] Devuan Jessie 1.0.0 stable release candidate

[Veteran Unix Admins]

Dear Init Freedom Lovers,

Once again the Veteran Unix Admins salute you!

Our April 2017 gift to you is the long-awaited release of Devuan
Jessie stable release candidate (1.0.0-RC). If all goes as planned,
this will be our first Devuan stable release and our first long term
support (LTS) release as well.

Two and a half years have passed since our initial Debianfork
declaration (https://devuan.org/os/debian-fork/) and not even one year
since our first beta release
(http://www.linuxjournal.com/content/devuan-beta-release).

This Devuan Jessie release candidate is as close as we can get to a
"long term support" universal base distribution free from systemd, in
the original spirit of Debian.

The final Devuan Jessie release will follow shortly and then we will
turn our attention to "Ascii", the current testing branch.

We wish to thank all of you for the incredible support given to this
development effort, and for engaging in the process of making Devuan a
useful and reliable base distro, as well as a pleasant, cooperative
community.


# What has improved in Devuan Jessie

The wifi autodetection problems present in the beta release series
have been fixed.

The problem that prevented samba from installing has been fixed.

Devuan now directly provides different base distribution flavours:
desktop-live (finally the purpy experience), embedded, minimal-live
and installer-iso.

Devuan's Simple Distro Kit (SDK) is rapidly approaching maturity, with
a full set of scripts and documentation to roll your own Devuan-based
distro in any flavor.  (https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?id=551)

The Refracta scripts are now included in Devuan, which makes it easy
to toast a new live distro from the state of a running one.

Devuan's infrastructure is now powered by the 'debbugs' bug tracking
system originally written by Ian Jackson, and the 'reportbug' tool
works as expected.

Package maintenance has been demystified and partially automated with
d1h - the Devuan packaging helper
(https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?id=549) - which simplifies the
task of interacting with the Devuan continuous integration pipeline
and makes it easier for developers to package their projects for
Devuan correctly. Please consider rolling up your sleeves and joining
the development team!

ARM support has improved: Devuan now provides base SD card images for
11 different hardware platforms: raspi1, raspi2, raspi3, chromeacer,
chromeveyron, cubieboard2, cubietruck, lime2, micro, N900,
odroidxu. When applicable (sunxi boards) ARM images are powered by
mainline 4.10.y Linux kernels.
