Debian version history

Short description: Releases of Debian GNU/Linux, a computer operating system

Debian releases do not follow a fixed schedule. Recent releases have been made around every two years by the Debian Project. The most recent version of Debian is Debian version 13, codename "Trixie".[1] The next up and coming release of Debian is Debian 14, codename "Forky".

Debian always has at least three active branches at any time: "stable", "testing" and "unstable".[2] The stable branch is considered the primary release and what most people refer to when talking about Debian. The testing branch contains packages that have been imported from unstable. Testing has significantly more up-to-date packages than stable and is frozen some time before a release to become the next version of Debian. The unstable release (also known as Sid) is the branch where active development takes place. It is the most volatile version of Debian.

When the Debian stable branch is replaced with a newer release, the current stable becomes an "oldstable" release. When the Debian stable branch is replaced again, the oldstable release becomes the "oldoldstable" release. Oldoldstable is eventually moved to the archived releases repository.[3]

## Naming convention

Debian distribution codenames are based on the names of characters from the Toy Story films. Debian's unstable trunk is named after Sid, a character who regularly destroyed his toys.[4]

## Release cycle

Debian Unstable, known as "Sid", contains all the latest packages as soon as they are available, and follows a rolling-release model.[5]

Once a package has been in Debian Unstable for 2–10 days (depending on the urgency of the upload), doesn't introduce critical bugs and doesn't break other packages (among other conditions), it is included in Debian Testing, also known as "next-stable".[6]

On average about every two years, Debian Testing enters a "freeze" cycle, where new packages are held back unless they fix critical bugs.[7][8] This frozen state lasts on average 7 months (but can be as short as one month).[7] Once Debian Testing doesn't contain any more release critical bugs, it is declared "stable" and released with a version number.[8]

1. ↑ The number of hardware architectures supported
2. ↑ Extended long-term support (ELTS) is provided by Freexian to subscribers.[9] There is no kernel support, and only sponsored packages are supported.[10]
3. ↑ Only 7 are candidates for stable releases.
4. ↑ 4.0 4.1 As of 7 May 2022.
5. ↑ 5.0 5.1 5.2 As of 28 September 2024.

When a release transitions to long-term support phase (LTS-phase), security is no longer handled by the main Debian security team.[97] Only a subset of Debian architectures are eligible for Long Term Support, and there is no support for packages in backports.[98]

## Release history

Debian 1.0 was never released, as a vendor accidentally shipped a development release with that version number.[99] The package management system dpkg and its front-end dselect were developed and implemented on Debian in a previous release. A transition from the a.out binary format to the ELF binary format had already begun before the planned 1.0 release. The only supported architecture was Intel 80386 (i386).[11]

### Debian 1.1 (Buzz)

Debian 1.1 (Buzz), released 17 June 1996, contained 474 packages. Debian had fully transitioned to the ELF binary format and used Linux kernel 2.0.[100]

Debian was ported to the ARM64 and ppc64le architectures, while support for the IA-64, kfreebsd-amd64 and kfreebsd-i386, IBM ESA/390 (s390) (only the 31-bit variant; the newer 64-bit s390x was retained) and SPARC architectures were dropped.[214][215][42]

Long term support ended June 2020.[216]

On 12 November 2020, it was announced that "Homeworld", by Juliette Taka, will be the default theme for Debian 11, after winning a public poll held with eighteen choices.[266]

Bullseye dropped the remaining Qt4/KDE 4 libraries and Python 2,[267][268] and shipped with Qt 5.15 KDE Plasma 5.20.[269] Available desktops include Gnome 3.38, KDE Plasma 5.20, LXDE 11, LXQt 0.16, MATE 1.24, and Xfce 4.16.[270][271][272]

Debian 12 (Bookworm) with GNOME

Debian 12 (Bookworm) was released on 10 June 2023.[68] It is based on Linux kernel v6.1 LTS, and uses GNOME 43 as its default desktop environment, but as usual many other desktops are available, such as KDE Plasma 5.27, LXDE 11, LXQt 1.2.0, MATE 1.26, and Xfce 4.18.[288]

Bookworm raised the compatibility level of its 32 bit x86 PC port from i586 to i686 compatibility.[289][290]

Debian 12 (Bookworm) is the last version of Debian with KDE Plasma 5.

Starting with Debian 12, non-free firmware packages from the "non-free-firmware" section of the Debian archive was enabled by default in the official installer and live images if and when the system determines that these packages are required, such as with modern Wi-Fi cards and modern graphics cards.[291] A change was also made to the Debian Social Contract to allow for this change to be made.[292]

On 13 October 2022, the Release Team announced the freeze development milestone timeline for this release:[89][293]

* 12 January 2023: transition and toolchain
* 12 February 2023: soft freeze

### Debian 13 (Trixie)

Debian 13 (Trixie) with GNOME

Debian 13, codenamed Trixie, was released 9 August 2025.[311] It uses the v6.12 LTS kernel.

Debian 13 adds support for 64 bit RISC-V.[312][313][314][315][316]

Debian 13 drops support for the mipsel architecture,[317] and drops the installers for the i386 (all 32-bit x86 CPUs) and armel architectures.[318]

Debian directs users to keep i386 systems on Debian 12 or retiring the system in question, as the remaining packages are intended for running 32-bit x86 software on 64-bit systems and require the SSE2 CPU instruction set that most 32-bit x86 CPUs don't support.[319]

Debian 13 features KDE Plasma 6.[320]

"Last year it was decided to increase the minimum CPU features for the i386 architecture to 686-class in the stretch release cycle. This means dropping support for 586-class and hybrid 586/686 processors[1].(Support for 486-class processors was dropped, somewhat accidentally, in squeeze.) This was implemented in the Linux kernel packages starting with Linux 4.3, which was uploaded to unstable in December last year. In case you missed that change, gcc for i386 has recently been changed to target 686-class processors and is generating code that will crash on other processors. Any such systems still running testing or unstable will need to be switched to run stable (jessie). The older processors will continue to be supported in jessie until at least 2018, and until 2020 if i386 is included in jessie LTS. The following processors, supported in jessie, are now unspported: * AMD K5, K6, K6-2, (aka K6 3D), K6-3 * DM&P/SiS Vortex86, Vortex86SX * Cyrix III, MediaGX, MediaGXm * IDT Winchip C6, Winchip 2 * Intel Pentium, Pentium with MMX * Rise mP6 * VIA C3 'Samuel 2', C3 'Ezra'"
230. ↑ "Release architectures for Debian 9 'Stretch'". https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2016/10/msg00008.html. "The only change from Jessie is the removal of powerpc as a release architecture. We discussed this at length, and eventually took the view that the least disservice to users of that port is to provide reasonable notice of its discontinuation. We recognise and acknowledge that discontinuing any port is unavoidably disruptive. The question of whether powerpc remains an architecture in the main archive or moves to ports is one for FTP masters, not the release team."

"The change has already been implemented to the Linux kernel 4.3 packages, which have been uploaded to the Debian Unstable repositories last year. And today users are being informed to move to Debian GNU/Linux 8 "Jessie" if they're still using Debian on older computers powered by i586 or i486 processors. If i386 support is to be included in the Debian GNU/Linux 8 "Jessie" release, which should enter LTS (Long Term Support) stage from May 2018, the operating system will then support older 32-bit processors until the year 2020."
