New HURD just dropped
https://www.debian.org/ports/hurd/hurd-news
Debian GNU/Hurd is currently available for the i386 and amd64 architectures with about 72% of the Debian archive, and more to come!
64bit support is now complete, with the same archive coverage as i386 (actually a bit more since some packages are 64b-only)
This 64b support is completely using userland disk drivers from NetBSD thanks to the Rump layer.
We now use xattr by default for recording translators, allowing to bootstrap seamlessly from other OSes, with mmdebstrap for instance
Rust was ported to GNU/Hurd.
Support for USB disk and CD-ROM was added through Rump
Packages are now available for SMP support, which is quite working
The console is now using xkb for keyboard layouts, and supports multiboot-provided framebuffer
Various other support were added (acpi, rtc, apic, hpet, ...)
Some documentation improvement was achieved
Various fixes have been included (irqs, nfsv3, libports, pipes corner cases, ...)
