Hi,

trixie release date
===================

We are planning to release trixie on August 9th. There will be release
parties, see [1] if you want to join or organize one.

Full freeze
===========

The Full Freeze will start on July 27th. Once the Full Freeze is instated,
every package will need an unblock to be able to migrate to testing. Please
see the freeze policy[2] for what qualifies for migration. We are aware
that this notice is shorter than we wanted, but we don't want to delay the
release.

Note that packages that have not migrated by the full freeze will be
frozen, even if they were uploaded before the freeze.

Updates targeting trixie should be uploaded with an unblock request filed
before the end of July 30th.

Final days before the release
=============================

During the last week before the planned release date, testing will be
completely frozen, and no packages will be unblocked except for critical
fixes. Please refrain from filing unblock requests for non-urgent issues.

Upgrades to trixie
==================

Please help test upgrades from bookworm to trixie. If you encounter any
issues, file bugs against the upgrade-reports pseudo-package [3].

Release notes
=============

If there are any noteworthy changes that should be mentioned in the release
notes, please submit a bug report against the release-notes package [4], or
a merge request in salsa [5] after checking that it has not been reported
already. The current release notes can be viewed at [6].

For the release team,
Emilio
