The Debian Long Term Support (LTS) Team hereby announces that Debian 8
"jessie" support has reached its end-of-life on June 30, 2020, five
years after its initial release on April 26, 2015.

Debian will not provide further security updates for Debian 8. A subset
of "jessie" packages will be supported by external parties. Detailed
information can be found at Extended LTS=C2=A0[1].

The LTS Team will prepare the transition to Debian 9 "stretch", which is
the current oldstable release. The LTS Team has taken over support from
the Security Team on July 6, 2020 while the final point update for
"stretch" will be released on July 18, 2020.

Debian 9 will also receive Long Term Support for five years after its
initial release with support ending on June 30, 2022. The supported
architectures remain amd64, i386, armel and armhf. In addition we are
pleased to announce, for the first time support will be extended to
include the arm64 architecture.

For further information about using "stretch" LTS and upgrading from
"jessie" LTS, please refer to LTS/Using=C2=A0[2].

Debian and its LTS Team would like to thank all contributing users,
developers and sponsors who are making it possible to extend the life of
previous stable releases, and who have made this LTS a success.
