Hello everyone,

I'm glad to announce that the new Apertis v2024dev3 development release is now available!

Apertis v2024dev3 is the fourth development release of the Apertis v2024 stable release flow and the second 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/v2024dev3/releasenotes/

This release ships the Linux 6.3 kernel, but later releases in the v2024 channel will be tracking newer kernel versions up to the next LTS.

Since this is the second release based on Debian Bookworm it includes several updates and bugfixes compared to the previous one. As mentioned for the previous release, with the rebase on top of Bookworm most of the packages were updated, below is a list of the 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
