Kali Linux has announced a switch to a rolling release model and released a snapshot labeled 2016.1. "To get a better understanding of the changes that this brings to Kali, a clearer picture of how rolling releases work is needed. Rather than Kali basing itself off standard Debian releases (such as Debian 7, 8, 9) and going through the cyclic phases of “new, mainstream, outdated”, the Kali rolling release feeds continuously from Debian testing, ensuring a constant flow of the latest package versions." The current stable version 2.0 will no longer be updated and will reach end-of-life on April 15.
