Hi.

apt-get just gave me this warning:
N: Il repository "http://cdn-fastly.deb.debian.org/debian stretch 
Release" ha modificato il valore "Version" da "9.7" a "9.8"
(In Italian, that is "value for version changed from 9.7 to 9.8")

Given that 9.7 was just released (I checked the website), is it just 
part of a normal preparation for the next point release or what else?
I have a mixed stable / testing setup.

Thanks,
Andrea.

Thank you, Ryan. And also Steve for the additional info on the interim 
security release.

In other words, that message was what it looked like :)

I am now subscribed to debian-announce and debian-security-announce.

Regards,
Andrea.

This weekend's point release had been planned for a long time, and was
originally going to be called 9.7. But then due to the major security
fix needed for apt [1] and the new installation media etc. also
needed, we decided to publish a minimal 9.7 release out of sequence
with just that change. What was going to be 9.7 became 9.8 instead.
