The Debian Project has officially released Debian 12.8, marking the seventh point release of the “Bookworm” series. This update brings significant enhancements, including 68 bug fixes across various packages and 50 security updates, addressing critical issues within the system.
The release follows a short time after Debian 12.7 and utilizes the more recent Linux 6.1 LTS kernel. This update is crucial for users looking to install the latest version of Debian on new hardware without the annoyance of having to download numerous updates post-installation.
Notably, the transition from Debian 12.3 to 12.4 skipped the former due to a major issue with data corruption in the EXT4 file system. Consequently, the current release supports various hardware architectures, providing installation images for both standard and live versions. Users can download these images here and here respectively.
Current users of Debian 12 “Bookworm” are advised to update their existing installations using terminal commands (sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade) or through a graphical package manager like Synaptic Package Manager.
