+
+Apertis is a Debian derivative distribution geared towards the creation
+of product-specific images for ARM (both the 32bit ARMv7 and 64-bit
+ARMv8 versions using the hardfloat ABI) and Intel x86-64 (64-bit)
+systems.
+
+**Apertis v2026dev1** is the second development release of the Apertis
+v2026 stable release flow that will lead to the LTS **Apertis v2026.0**
+release in March 2026.
+
+This Apertis release is built on top of Debian Bookworm along with several customizations
+and it ships the latest Linux kernel 6.12.x series. Later releases in the v2026 channel
+will be tracking Debian Trixie and newer kernel versions.
+
+Test results for the v2026dev1 release are available in the following
+test reports:
+
+ - [APT images](https://qa.apertis.org/report/v2026dev1/20250226.0017/apt)
+ - [OSTree images](https://qa.apertis.org/report/v2026dev1/20250226.0017/ostree)
+ - [NFS artifacts](https://qa.apertis.org/report/v2026dev1/20250226.0017/nfs)
+ - [LXC containers](https://qa.apertis.org/report/v2026dev1/20250226.0017/lxc)
+
+Since this release is the development last before the rebase on top of Debian Trixie
+no manual testing has been performed.

+## New features
+
+No new features have been introduced
+
+## Build and integration
+
+### Rust an Go packages moved to target
+
+To align with Apertis policies Rust and Go packages used to build packages in target were moved
+from development to target. In this way, code that is intended to be used in target devices lives
+in target where compliance checks are performed. This change was needed, since these languages are
+statically linked, causing that most of the build dependencies ship code that is used in the binaries.
+
+### Folding and branching pipeline improvements
+
+The folding and branching process has been moved to Gitlab CI, but the work continues to
+make these pipelines more developer and user friendly. With this idea in mind the code has
+been refactored to improve consistency and make it easier to maintain and debug. From the
+user perspective, the new version provides more hints to and checks to avoid mistakes and
+improve debug information.
