Debian 11.5 and 10.13

As every so often, usually a few weeks, Project Debian has released new installation images of its operating system. The previous one was 11.4, and yesterday, also on Saturday, threw Debian 11.5. This is the fifth maintenance update for Bullseye, and it includes the latest security patches, updated packages, and bug fixes. Project Debian reminds with each of these releases that this is not a completely new version of the operating system, so existing users should not consider doing a fresh install.

Debian 11.5 includes 53 security patches, and a total of 58 bugs fixed in a bit of everything. Combined, they make 111 corrections, to which should be added those of the programs themselves, which have also been updated in the last two months with new functions and their own security and maintenance patches.

Debian 11.5, new installation media

Along with Debian 11.5, or better said in parallel, also was launched Debian 10.13, which is Buster's 13th maintenance update. In terms of numbers, 79 security patches have been added and another 79 in a bit of everything, making a total of 158.

This release note mentions something more important, beyond announcing the release, putting the list of updated packages and saying that it is not necessary to install from scratch. is the last update there will be for Buster, and it is recommended to upgrade to Debian 11 as soon as possible:

After this timely release, the Debian Security and Release teams will stop producing updates for Debian 10. Users who wish to continue to receive security support should upgrade to Debian 11, or see https://wiki.debian.org/LTS for details on the subset of architectures and packages covered by the Long Term Support project.

Debian is available for all types of architectures and in GNOME, Plasma, Xfce, LXQt, LXDE, Cinnamon and Mate versions. Different installation media are available at this link. Considering the previous message, it is worth downloading Debian 11.5 for new installations. Existing users can update all packages with the commands sudo apt update && sudo apt dist-upgrade.
