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.

    Opensource was killing the software biz.

    Thus opensource needed to be killed by injecting what you say into it.
    Hence the *-women groups starting around 2009 or so.

    To fracture and split the movement.
    It is working.

    Eject all cruft asap?

    Perhaps it's not corporate evil. But a desire to normalize the open source movement. But the problem perhaps is that open source movement works because its abnormal..! ;-)

    People that desire normal environment should perhaps enter the corporate cubicle environment. I read it's extremely stimulating.....

      Only the abnormals are ejected.

      There is no way for you to get rid of SJWs, feminists, etc who do nothing but call for the censorship and ejectment (which they obtain) of those whom oppose their ideals.
      Opensource ideals are now feminist ideals.
      They control the gates. You cannot publish your software if they dislike you, free or not.

      A woman contributes much to opensource just by existing. Men who oppose her are trolls/harrassers/terrorists (yes, terror ware == casino game by anti-feminist coder) and deserve only imprisonment and penury (which the SJWs also achieve by getting anyone opposed to them fired from their positions).

      Really, the only way one could fight back is to kill these people when they get you ejected from your livelihood, if you can.

        Apply strict show of merit and contribution before joining. And eject anyone starting irrelevant issues?
        Of course that requires the community to apply these rules. So how do they (SJW) get on board to begin with?

        Another approach is to continuously fork the community ;-)

          They always turn these rules against those doing the work so as to eject them.

          What would happen is the SJWs would join, do nothing or something easy like packaging software into .ar archive (called .deb s these days), then when these rules are added, they
          would point out the men doing the programing have actual social opinions on things, and then have those men banned because they broke the rule of "merit only".

          Opensource worked when there were no rules, no gatekeepers, no working on OSS just to pad CVs etc.
