s has been disabled encryption old SSLv3 protocol, and weak security, has been added and recompile (compiled) packages more solid and make it, for security purposes, was to provide additional protection against buffer overflows attacks and other attacks, rather than add some libraries and Alcolmbalrat.

8 came as Debian desktop environment GNOME after you decide to use an environment XFCE desktop virtualization during the development of Debian 8 as a result of disappointments in successive versions of GNOME 3.4, 3.6, 3.8. But, Eddie success later versions of GNOME 3.10, 3.12, 3.14 to reverse the decision and return to the use of an environment GNOME desktop virtualization. 

 

Systemd become by default :

You can tell that Systemd is a collection of tools and libraries that control the central management system for Linux, or lower the basic piece that manages the system. 

Systemd and is considered one of the most projects controversy in the free software community, because it is said that the basic structure for systemd violates the philosophy and standards of Unix, and it may lead to entanglement in Dependencies, but this does not eliminate that has pros and the advantages are many, too, and now, after a long discussion the decision was made to be Systemd is the default in Debian, instead of the old SysV init.

On the sidelines: Also Ubuntu 15.04 and Fedora Red Hat openSUSE and Arch and most distributions, had moved to systemd is the other.

In the end, it was safe to quit EFI support in Debian Jessie more, and saw this version of Debian various improvements and bug fixes and a number of very significant changes, read the release notes to see all the changes.
