-<p>The code name for the next major Debian release after <a
-href="../woody/">woody</a> is &ldquo;sarge&rdquo;. It is likely that this
-release will be numbered &ldquo;3.1&rdquo;.</p>
-
-<p>This release started as a copy of woody, and is currently in a state
-called &ldquo;<a href="$(DOC)/FAQ/ch-ftparchives#s-testing">testing</a>&rdquo;.
-That means that things should not break as bad as in unstable or
-experimental distributions, because packages are allowed to enter this
-distribution only after a certain period of time has passed, and when they
-don't have any release-critical bugs filed against them.</p>
-
-<p>Security updates for the "testing" distribution are
-now managed by the security team as of May 3rd 2005. Hence, "testing"
-<strong>does</strong> get security updates in a timely manner. This is
-a temporary situation since currently the testing distribution is frozen.
-For more information please see the
-<a href="$(HOME)/security/faq#testing">Security
-Team's FAQ</a>.</p>

-<p>People often ask if there is a single release "progress meter".
-Unfortunately there isn't one, but we can refer you to several places
-that describe things needed to be dealt with for the release to happen:</p>
-
-<ul>
- <li><a href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2005/05/msg00020.html">Latest release update</a>, which states that the release date had to be postponed one week to June 6th 2005.</li>
- <li>The <a href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2005/05/msg00001.html">previous release update</a> said that the release should
- happen on May 30th 2005.</li>

-
-<p>As usual, the release goals and the release date are <strong>not</strong>
-going to be determined in advance. To put it simply, <cite>"Debian releases
-when it is time"</cite>.</p>
-
-<p>The major planned changes for <em>sarge</em> currently include
-replacing the old boot-floppies installation system in favour of the new
-<a href="$(HOME)/devel/debian-installer/">debian-installer</a>,
-and use of GCC 3.3 as the default compiler on architectures that used 2.95
-so far. Introduction of new versions of software such as Perl 5.8 and
-XFree86 4.3 is also in progress.</p>
