The first feature release of the 5.10 series of NAV is now out!

The source code is available for download at GitHub [1].

New packages for Debian 10 (Buster) and 11 (Bullseye) are available in our APT repository [2] as usual. We haven't started building packages for Debian 12 (Bookworm) yet, as NAV does not yet support running under Python 3.11.

Do note that 5.10 is the **last series we will package for Debian 11**, as NAV 5.11 will drop support for Python versions older than 3.9

Please be extra aware of config file changes. Look out for `*.dpkg-dist` files in `/etc/nav` and make sure to update your running config.

Removed =======

- Removed references to IRC support channel from documentation, as the channel is closing down (#2907)

Deprecated ==========

- Support for Python versions older than 3.9 will be dropped in NAV 5.11.

Changed =======

- Change the Docker Compose-based development environment to use more build caching and avoid running too many things as root (#2859) - Changed required PostgreSQL version to 11
