-## openHAB branch name changes to install openHAB 4 ## August 12, 2023
-The default openHABian branch name (this is something like the openHABian *version*)
-changed from "openHAB3" to "openHAB".
-The openHAB2 branch name changed from "stable" to "legacy".
-You can use these names whenever you want to install a fresh openHABian system with
-a specific openHAB version right in the first place using clonebranch=<branch name>
-in openhabian.conf.
+## openHABian 1.9 released based on Debian 12 bookworm ## March 13, 2024
+We stepped up to latest Debian Linux release. The openHABian image for RPis
+uses Raspberry Pi OS (lite) and we finally managed to switch over to latest
+RaspiOS which is "bookworm" based.
+Note that not all 3rd party tools are fully tested with bookworm homegear.
+If you run a bullseye (Debian 11) or even older distribution, please read the
+docs how to reinstall. It's safer to reinstall (and import your old config,
+of course) than to attempt doing a dist-upgrade.
+See also the OH4 migration FAQ on the forum.
 
-## IMPORTANT: installing openHAB 4 ## June 25, 2023
-We will install openHAB 4 from now on. It will be the latest available milestone
-release until general availability of the openHAB 4 release.
+## Raspberry Pi 5 support ## March 13, 2024
+Support for the new Raspberry Pi 5 is also included as part of the bookworm update.
+Please note that while a RPi5 has new HW features such as PCI-E SSD, nothing has
+changed about peripheral support in openHABian, unsupported parts may work or not.
 
-If you are on the default branch openHAB3 so far, please use menu option 01 to
-change to openHAB branch when you upgrade/move to openHAB 4.
