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）。

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.

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.
