Updated Debian 10: 10.3 released

---------- Forwarded message ---------

------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Debian Project                               https://www.debian.org/
Updated Debian 10: 10.3 released                        press@debian.org
February 8th, 2020             https://www.debian.org/News/2020/20200208
------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Debian project is pleased to announce the third update of its stable
distribution Debian 10 (codename "buster"). This point release mainly
adds corrections for security issues, along with a few adjustments for
serious problems. Security advisories have already been published
separately and are referenced where available.

Please note that the point release does not constitute a new version of
Debian 10 but only updates some of the packages included. There is no
need to throw away old "buster" media. After installation, packages can
be upgraded to the current versions using an up-to-date Debian mirror.

Those who frequently install updates from security.debian.org won't have
to update many packages, and most such updates are included in the point
release.

New installation images will be available soon at the regular locations.

Upgrading an existing installation to this revision can be achieved by
pointing the package management system at one of Debian's many HTTP
mirrors. A comprehensive list of mirrors is available at:

https://www.debian.org/mirror/list
