Hello,

This announcement concerns all users of FreedomBox on Debian stable (Buster). 
At some point in 2021, there will be a new Debian stable release (Bullseye).

Over the last several releases of FreedomBox, we have added a feature that will 
allow the box to update itself (dist-upgrade) to Bullseye after it is released 
as stable. The update should work automatically in most cases, but in some 
special cases (such as advanced customization made to the system) it could run 
into an issue.

This update feature is recommended, and enabled by default for stable systems. 
If needed, it can be disabled on the System -> Update page, by clearing the 
"Enable auto-update to next stable release" checkbox. Note that if you want to 
keep it enabled, you should also have "Enable auto-update" enabled.

If you decide to stay on Buster, please check this page to see how long it will 
be supported by Debian security team:
https://wiki.debian.org/DebianReleases#Production_Releases

In addition, after Bullseye release, buster-backports will not have new 
versions of FreedomBox (instead, they will go to bullseye-backports).
