Hello everyone,

I'm glad to announce that the new Apertis v2024dev2 development release is now available!

Apertis v2024dev2 is the third development release of the Apertis v2024 stable release flow and the first one based on Debian Bookworm. It will lead to the LTS Apertis v2024.0 release in March 2024.

For more details about the Apertis release flows and support periods, see https://www.apertis.org/designs/release-flow/

You can find the full release notes at https://www.apertis.org/release/v2024dev2/releasenotes/

This release ships the Linux 6.1 kernel and is based on Debian Bookworm but later releases in the v2024 channel will be tracking newer kernel versions up to the next LTS.

As this is the first release after a rebase, all the packages have been updated to the version available in Debian Bookworm, from which below is a list of highlights:

- GCC 12.2.0-14 - Glib 2.74.6-1 - Glibc 2.36-9 - OpenSSL 3.0.9-1 - GNU TLS 3.7.9-1 - Nginx 1.22.1-7 - Gstreamer 1.22.0-3 - Pipewire 0.3.65-3
