The Debian Installer team[1] is pleased to announce the second release
candidate of the installer for Debian 13 "Trixie".


Improvements in this release
============================

 * apt-setup:
    - Disable cdrom sources if installation medium is not a real CD (USB
      stick, SD card, ISO file), because APT cannot use it after the
      installation (#1102140, #1103650).
    - Allow preseeding extra options for the local sources.list lines.
 * busybox:
    - Remove wget applet (#1107392).
 * choose-mirror:
    - Update Mirrors.masterlist.
 * debian-cd:
    - Record which firmware packages are embedded in the modified initrds
      (#1106005).
    - Make sure systemd-cryptsetup is available (#1092977).
 * debian-installer:
    - Bump Linux kernel ABI to 6.12.33+deb13.
    - Fix Japanese rendering support, with many thanks to Kentaro HAYASHI:
      add fonts-motoya-l-cedar-udeb to gtk-common (#1037256).
    - Stop setting DPKG_UNPACK_OPTIONS = --force-overwrite (#1107392).
    - Improve support for speech synthesis, embedding some i915-related
      modules on amd64, for graphical targets.
 * grub-installer:
    - Set force-efi-extra-removable to "true" by default in some cases,
      which should help in cases where EFI firmware does not manage EFI
      boot variables properly.
 * partman-crypto:
    - Install systemd-cryptsetup alongside cryptsetup-initramfs. While
      the latter is sufficient if one picks guided partitioning with an
      encrypted LVM layout, other use cases might require the former,
      originally bundled together within systemd (#1092977).
 * rescue:
    - Add suport for rescuing btrfs systems installed via the Calamares
      installer found on Debian Live images.
 * rootskel-gtk:
    - Adapt installer banner image to the most recent iteration of the
      Ceratopsian theme.
    - Fix Japanese rendering support by switching from VL Gothic to
      MotoyaLCedar, also bumping font size (#1037256).
 * systemd-boot-installer:
    - Install shim-signed on amd64/arm64 to enable Secure Boot.


Hardware support changes
========================

 * console-setup:
    - Add support for Apple MTP keyboard and Apple SPI Keyboard, as found
      on ARM-based Apple laptops like M1 MacBook Pro and M2 MacBook Air
      (#1108360).
 * linux:
    - [amd64] Add drivers/pinctrl/intel to kernel-image udeb (#1106658).


Localization status
===================

 * 78 languages are supported in this release.
 * Full translation for 31 of them.


Known bugs in this release
==========================

 * There seems to be no known major bug as of yet.

See the errata[2] for details and a full list of known issues.


Feedback for this release
=========================

We need your help to find bugs and further improve the installer, so
please try it. Installation images, and everything else you will need
are available at our web site[3].


Thanks
======

The Debian Installer team thanks everybody who has contributed to this
release.

Lovely. Let me know when you're happy and I'll sign and publish the
live builds too.

You're replying to a release announcement but mentioning issues with a
different image (weekly build ≠ release)…

Sorry, I  don't know where the RC2 images are.  Maybe your release 
announcement should be more clear.

I cannot reproduce any issues with an trixie rc2 netinst image during
partitioning, using speech install.

What do you mean exactly by "the screen reader read each partition as blank" ?
