How to upgrade to latest minor version?

Mon Dec 31, 2018 1:48 am

So, I am running Jessie (still). And it looks like 8.11 was the last stable version.
I did the apt-get update/upgrade followed by the dist-upgrade.

lsb_release says I am running 8.0

That doesn't seem like the latest version of Jessie.

What am I missing?

Jessie has been replaced by Stretch (Debian 9). Once Raspbian upgrades from one major release to another, they pretty much stop updating the old release.

AFAIAA Raspbian Jessie never showed point releases, you have fully updated apart from kernel / firmware so it is not an issue !
