Comment on Debian 10.7 Released

Comments

Important to note that this is just a patch release with bugfixes, not a new major version.

Yes, but also with new updated installation media images.

Historical context: It wasn’t always like this; Debian 3.1 was a major release after Debian 3.0, and Debian 6.0 had minor releases up to 6.0.10. This did not change until Debian 7 (which was called 7, not 7.0, and had a minor release numbered 7.1). Therefore, many people might still assume that an increase of the first minor version number is a major release, even though it is not true anymore.
