Debian 11 "bullseye" released

 I am running right now on a Live instance of Debian 11 "Bullseye", which was released late in the evening of Saturday, August 14, 2021.

Quoting part of the release Email:

After 2 years, 1 month, and 9 days of development, the Debian project is
proud to present its new stable version 11 (code name "bullseye"), which
will be supported for the next 5 years thanks to the combined work of
the Debian Security team [1] and the Debian Long Term Support [2] team.


Debian 11 "bullseye" ships with several desktop applications and
environments. Amongst others it now includes the desktop environments:

  * Gnome 3.38,
  * KDE Plasma 5.20,
  * LXDE 11,
  * LXQt 0.16,
  * MATE 1.24,
  * Xfce 4.16.

 I downloaded the edition containing a live instance with Xfce 4.16.

I have not yet experimented much with the released version, but I am running it live now, and I also used test versions of Debian Bullseye, antiX 21 a2 and b1, both based on Bullseye, and MX Linux 21 Beta 1, also based on Bullseye; all of them have worked well for me.
