+# Alpine 3.3.0 released
+We are pleased to announce Alpine Linux 3.3.0, the first release in v3.3
+stable series.
+
+The ISO images has been renamed. Current images are now:
+
+- alpine (previously 'alpine-mini'). Minimalisitic boot media for network access.
+- alpine-vanilla (same as before). Same as 'alpine' but with vanilla kernel.
+- alpine-extended (previously 'alpine'). Same as 'alpine' but with slightly more packages available in the repository. Handy where network access is limited.
+- alpine-xen (same as before). Boot media for Xen Dom 0.
+- alpine-rpi (same as before).
+
+Some of the new features are:
+
+- linux 4.1 kernel
+- gcc 5.3.0 / musl 1.1.12
+- New repository named, "community"
+- mariadb 10.1
+- Xen 4.6
+- perl 5.22
+- isohybrid boot images
+- refactored initramfs. `alpine_dev` boot option no longer needed and
+  better support for cryptroot, lvm, mdadm.
+
+Some of the desktop applications that got upgraded and are available for v3.3:
+
+- xorg-server-1.18
+- evince 3.18
+- libreoffice 5.0
+- Mate desktop 1.12
+- qt5 5.5
+
+The full lists of changes can be found in the
