XFCE 4.12 finally included ? Or is it still too new for Debian ?

I might be wrong, but I think that Debian does not upgrade their packages on stable updates. These 8.x releases are just bunches of security updates and fixes.

I had a lot of problems using stable when it was Wheezy but this time around I've have no problems at all using Jessie. Famous last words

I used a year debian stable. Problems:
- Rosegarden and many other nice programs were 2 years old while there was new versions available

That's Debian's definition of "Stable": Package versions do not change after release.

- I needed to install stable again when I broke it with testing packages

Well... that's your fault, then.

Stable has almost 400 bugs that never gets fixed while testing is updated in every week

Anyone who wants/needs the latest packages should not use Debian Stable.

One fix is very important for all users with root on MD raid other than raid0. Namely, a single disk crash no longer results in an unbootable system.
