Nothing was! Debian stable doesn't update packages (not even minor releases or bugfixes). They only backport security fixes or very critical bugfixes.
Debian 9 was freezed on 2017-02-05. You'll have the version of every package from this date, point release don't change that.
- JasonFruit 7y agoWe're not disagreeing — please stop trying to raise an argument where there is none! My only reason for giving the point release date was to say that it's a supported release. You're reading a lot more into my tiny comment than I ever put into it.
- nemetroid 7y ago> it's a supported release. Calling it "supported" in the context of the ability to build arbitrary software is misleading. It's supported by Debian for the particular packages included in Debian's package repositories - nothing less, nothing more.
