+
+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 v2024.4** is the fifth **stable** release of the Apertis
+v2024 stable [release flow]( {{< ref "release-flow.md#apertis-release-flow" >}} ).
+Apertis is committed to maintaining the v2024 release stream up to the end
+of 2025.
+
+This is the first Apertis release that is built on top of Debian Bookworm
+along with several customizations and it ships the latest Linux LTS kernel
+6.6.x series. Later releases in the v2024 channel will be tracking kernel updates
+in this LTS series as well as Debian Bookworm Stable Channel.
+
+Test results for the v2024.4 release are available in the following
+test reports:
+
+ - [APT images](https://qa.apertis.org/report/v2024/20250212.0218/apt)
+ - [OSTree images](https://qa.apertis.org/report/v2024/20250212.0218/ostree)
+ - [NFS artifacts](https://qa.apertis.org/report/v2024/20250212.0218/nfs)
+ - [LXC containers](https://qa.apertis.org/report/v2024/20250212.0218/lxc)

+
+## Changes
+
+This is a point release in the stable cycle, only security fixes and
+small changes are appropriate for this release stream.
+
+This release includes the security updates from Debian Bookworm and the latest
+LTS Linux kernel on the 6.6.x series.
+
+Additionally, several Rust and Go packages have been moved from development to target in order
+to align better with Apertis polices around code that is intended to be used in target devices.
+These two languages are special since the binaries the produced are statically linked, causing
+that most of the build dependencies ship code that is used in the binary.
+
+## Deprecations and ABI/API breaks
+
+### Regressions
+
+No known regressions.
+
+### Deprecations
+
