The Extended Long Term Support (ELTS) Team hereby announces that Debian 8 “Jessie” support has reached its end-of-life today, June 30, 2025, ten years after its initial release on April 26th, 2015.
We strongly encourage any remaining Jessie users to upgrade to a supported Debian version. The ELTS Team will continue to provide security support for Debian 9 “Stretch” and Debian 10 “Buster”, while Debian 11 “Bullseye” and Debian 12 “Bookworm” are still supported by Debian.
Freexian and the ELTS Team would like to thank all the users that made Debian 8 ELTS possible, and we invite any interested parties to contribute to the extended support of the still supported Debian releases.
