It is planned for June 6th 2015. https://lists.debian.org/debian-release/2015/05/msg00605.html > Second, I know the development of debian big version (for Debian 7 -> 8). > > oldstable -> stable -> testing -> unstable > wheezy Jessie stretch sid > > I'm using testing version now! Using 'testing' in the start of a release cycle can be even more troublesome than using unstable. I hope you know what you're doing. > How is the development about small version (like debian 8.1)? Time between stable point releases ("small versions") varies. Developers do contiuous backporting of fixes to stable through uploads to the 'stable-proposed-updates' and 'stable-updates' archives, as well as the 'security' archive. When the time is near to freeze and prepare the next point release, we get a warning from the stable release managers in the development mailing lists, like the one I linked above. The freeze is fast, usually just one week. You could activate 'stable-proposed-updates' in the apt sources lists, and you will get early access to packages being considered for the next stable update. Be sure to report any errors, early testing of stable-proposed-updates is a very valuable service for the community. -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.
