Debian 4.0 'etch' released

It’s finally out. Happy Easter.

Debian has just

• Updated ‘sarge’ (aka: new ‘oldstable’) for a last time
• Elected a new project leader (congrats, Sam)
• Released Debian 4.0 ‘etch’ (aka: new ‘stable’)

Yes, it’s finally out. And I hope it has the high quality you’ve come to expect for Debian releases (which is probably why it takes us so long, apart from supporting 11 architectures in this release).

Congrats, and a big thank you to all those involved, especially our release managers.
