FreedomBox is built on the Debian operating system. Approximately every two years, there is a new stable Debian release. FreedomBox provides the option of automatically handling the upgrade to the new version of Debian after it is released. A distribution update will bring in major features and changes. Sometimes, old features will stop working. This page documents the expected changes and transitions during a distribution upgrade. If you dislike these changes, you can keep each distribution for at least 5 years before updating.

The current stable release is Debian 12 "bookworm". It was released on June 10, 2023. Below are additional considerations to have in mind when upgrading to a new release of Debian.
