Hello everyone,

I'm glad to announce that the new Apertis v2026dev3 development release is now available!

Apertis v2026dev3 is the fourth development release of the Apertis v2026 stable release flow and the second one based on Debian Trixie. It will lead to Apertis v2026.0 release in March 2026.

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/v2026dev3/releasenotes/

This release ships the Linux 6.12 kernel and is based on Debian Trixie but later releases in the v2026 channel will be tracking newer kernel versions up to the next LTS.

As this is the second release after a rebase, most of the work was focused in bugfixing and cleanup to provide a more stable and clean distribution towards the next Apertis stable release v2026.0 scheduled for March 2026.

Thanks to everyone who contributed!
