Debian 8.0 Jessie的第一个测试版本Alpha 1发布了，现在可以自由下载。现在Debian的软件工程师同时在为两个发行版本上工作，一个稳定版本（Debian 7 Wheezy）和一个测试版本（Debian 8 Jessie）。
其中，Debian 8 Jessie安装有一些补丁，GRUB选择菜单的支持，默认3.13内核和FreeBSD内核使用已达到9.2版本。
Debian 8.0 Jessie 正式版本将在2015年发布，还需漫长的时间等待！
此版本更新内容如下：
改进了安装程序
Many components were updated during the beginning of the Jessie release cycle, so a full list of changes is not be included in this announcement.
apt-setup: Avoid hang due to interactive apt-cdrom (#740673).
grub-installer: Support menu selection of GRUB boot disk (#706112).
Behavorial 改进
Xfce is the default desktop environment for the time being. Quoting tasksel's changelog：
this will be re-evaluated in August 2014, and may change again before Jessie is released.
It's still possible to select an alternative desktop to install at the boot prompt; installation images are available for the various major desktop environments as usual.
硬件支持改进
The ia64 architecture has been removed from the archive, and is no longer supported.
The s390 architecture has been replaced with the s390x architecture.
It wasn't possible to build the installer for sparc (#731806), so no installation images are available for this architecture. Its future as an official port is being evaluated by the release team.
The Linux kernel has been updated from 3.2 to 3.13.
The FreeBSD kernel has been updated from 9.0 to 9.2.
armel: The iop32x flavour has been dropped.
armhf: The armmp flavour has been added; it covers both mx5 and vexpress.
mipsel: The cobalt flavour has been dropped.
s390x: The tape flavour has been dropped.
本地化状态
75 languages are supported in this release.
Full translation for 12 of them.
