Released back in November was [1]Devuan 6.0 for Debian 13 without systemd dependence in order to provide "init freedom" with letting users instead opt for SysVinit, OpenRC, or Runit as the init system. Devuan 6.1 is out today as the newest stable point release.

Devuan 6.1 brings down the latest Debian 13 "Trixie" package updates while continuing to provide the "init freedom" with otherwise being bound to systemd usage. The whole focus of [2]Devuan remains around providing Debian GNU/Linux without being bound to systemd.

No release announcement has been issued for Devuan 6.1 to outline any other possible changes on the Devuan side with this point release, but in any event those wanting to grab this very latest ISO refresh can find Devuan 6.1 via their [3]ISO mirrors .
