    Debian drops the SPARC architecture
    The Debian release team has announced that the SPARC port can no longer be
    found in the testing distribution. "The main reasons were
    lack of porter commitments, problems with the toolchain and continued
    stability issues with our machines.

    The fate of SPARC in unstable has not been decided yet. It might get
    removed unless people commit to working on it.    " See this bug
    entry     for discussion on the future of this port.

    Tails 1.0 released
    Version 1.0 of the
    Tails ("the amnesic incognito live system") distribution has been
    released. Tails is a Debian-based distribution intended for anonymous
    access to the net. The 1.0 release evidently brings few new features; the
    point, instead, is to indicate that Tails has reached a new level of
    stability.
