Hi, while translating the release-notes into German, I noticed that the content for the installation system is still for Stretch.
I have prepared a first patch, to get that updated for Buster. My proposal would be, to go for something like a "minimalistic approach" like the following: (which means skipping the 'Major changes' section, since I feel we have many small changings, but not that much 'big deals'. Only my personal opinion. Correct me if I'm wrong!) <section id="inst-new"> <title>What's new in the installation system?</title> <para> There has been a lot of development on the Debian Installer since its previous official release with &debian; &oldrelease;, resulting in improved hardware support and some exciting new features or improvements. </para> <para> Most notably there is the initial support for UEFI Secure Boot, which has been added to the installation images. </para> <para> If you are interested in an overview of the detailed changes since &oldreleasename;, please check the release announcements for the &releasename; beta and RC releases available from the Debian Installer's <ulink url="&url-installer-news;">news history</ulink>. </para> </section> Holger -- Holger Wansing <hwans...@mailbox.org> PGP-Fingerprint: 496A C6E8 1442 4B34 8508 3529 59F1 87CA 156E B076
