Mailing? It links to a mailing. But the page is release.debian.org - do you have any more authoritative source for a different release date? Also on identi.ca they wrote today: "FTP/Release teams' work is complete; once CD testing is complete, the mirrors will be updated and jessie will be released!" https://identi.ca/debian https://identi.ca/debian

  You linked to a release page that has a series of announcements. The most recent announcement is from March, and also a mailing list. That's all they meant. https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2015/03/msg00016.html https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2015/03/msg00... Today they will make an additional announcement.

  Check the submitted page (https://release.debian.org/ https://release.debian.org/) and you'll see that even now that Debian 8 is released they don't mention Debian 8 being released or added any new item about that release. So, no that page didn't (and still doesn't) announce Debian 8 release.

How about a mail[0] on the mirror announce mailing list from half an hour ago? “As you are probably already aware of, Debian 8.0 "jessie", is just a few hours away from becoming the next stable release. This is a heads up in case you were not aware of, as there is probably going to be a higher load on the mirrors.” [0] https://lists.debian.org/debian-mirrors-announce/2015/04/msg00000.html https://lists.debian.org/debian-mirrors-announce/2015/04/msg...
