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.

TOO BAD YOU CAN'T BUY a voodoo globe so that you could make the earth spin
real fast and freak everybody out.

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".
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.
