[11:58] schestowitzAlthough there's no version number in the release notes, the new installment of the official Raspberry Pi OS calls itself version 5.2 on the startup splash screen. Like version 5, which we checked out last November, it's still based on Debian 12 "Bookworm", and that's what it calls itself in the /etc/os-release file, but it continues to diverge further from its parent.
