Debian 8 "Jessie" was released on 25 Apr. A link to the Debian release page shows the changes and you can follow the release in 'real-time' should you desire to do so.
This release will be supported for 5 years and includes "improvements" to the UEFI software (both 32- and 64-bit) introduced in the previous version, "Wheezy". It also is the first release to use systemd as default init system replacing the earlier sysvinit, which is still available in the repos should you wish to revert the change. What effects such a change might have on the remainder of the system is not clear. Improvements to the support of Debian software include the ability to browse and search all source code distributed in the latest release.

>(while omitting that it's a badly coded pile of shit that's full of asshole "easter eggs" and unsuitable for inclusion in any distro)
Tell us about these easter eggs that the game is "full" of.
Tell us why, if a game uses "If" statements rather than switch statements while waiting for user input, it is "badly coded and should be kept out of distros".
Tell us about other textconsole casino games for Nix not by the author :)
No, The reason, you FUCKING piece of shit (BTW: on of your kind was MURDERED in Pakistan yesterday. THANK GOD (of deuteronomy, not your pro-feminist cuck)), exclude this game
is because you do not like the opinions of the author. No other reason. When you people are murdered it is wonderful. WONDERFUL. Thanks to Putin some years ago also
for killing one of your feminist reporter women in russia.
>Systemd
Systemd is garbage. It is overly complex crap that often runs at 100pct cpu (just like pulse audio even now!) and does the same thing the simpler sysv or sinit does: start up a few programs such as X.
It is also something similar to a rotting stump: lots of holes to burrow into if one so chooses.
(The kernel is somewhat similar, but what can you do: ask the grsec / PaX team)

I already covered that here [soylentnews.org] (for anyone interested in a brief code examination) and see no reason to do so again. You're a deranged crackpot with some of the worst code I've had the misfortune of reading -- and I've been abusing Perl since the 90s.
As for the rest of your comment, thanks for confirming the "deranged lunatic" remarks I've made with your psychotic ranting. You clearly know fuck-all about me, except for knowing that I think your gpcslots software is rubbish, so the rest of your remark is just lunatic ranting and a desire for my harm based solely on your own delusional fantasies of what you think I'm like.
You need a white jacket and a padded cell, seriously. I'm amazed you haven't been committed to an asylum already.

This isn't soviet russia yet, but you SJWs are working hard to make free thought and free speech illegal: it allready is in every european cuntry you control.
What you think about this supposed software (lol, a perlscript qualifying as software) does not matter.
What matters is the fact that it does what nothing else does, is no worse than just about any other debian-included text console game, and was rejected because the author wasn't an SJW like yourself.
Don't worry, this may come to blows though. Russia has decided to be opposed to SJWism and to physically fight your forces wherever they appear, there may yet be a world war and your kind might be removed from your perch.
