It’s been a little over two months since the release of the second Release Candidate of the Debian Stretch Installer on the first days of February, which means that the Debian Installer development team had a lot of time on their hands to implement as many improvements as possible, as well as to fix most of the remaining bugs. It won’t be long until the launch of Debian GNU/Linux 9 “Stretch,” so this third Release Candidate could be one of the last steps in the development cycle of the upcoming operating system, which should hit the streets at the end of April or in early May if everything goes according to plan and no critical blockers are found.
