The Debian Project is an association of free software developers who volunteer their time and effort to produce the completely free operating system Debian. Debian 10.0 was initially released on July 6th, 2019. Now, the seventh update of stable distribution Debian 10 (buster) has been released. This point release comes with corrections for security issues, along with a few adjustments for serious problems.
Bug fixes and updated packages
In terms of security updates, there are some packages that have been updated like OpenJDK, Ruby, SQLite, systemd, Tor, Thunderbird, Firefox ESR, MariaDB, WordPress and Transmission.
After installation, packages can be upgraded to the current versions using an up-to-date Debian mirror. 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 primary mirror site has good bandwidth and is syncing directly from Debian’s internal syncproxy network. Here is a comprehensive list of mirrors.
