Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty Jackalope release schedule
The people from Ubuntu have been working on the release of 9.04, the Jaunty Jackalope, for a while now. a few days ago they released the Alpha 3, which contains the new 2.6.28 linux kernel with ext4 and some performance updates for the graphical drivers. Apparently ext4 saves a lot of time while booting, I’ve read improvements of 30%, which is impressive.
9.04 should have some nice improvements when it’s release. Gnome 2.26 should be in it, and with that the evolution exchange plugin (finally!). For the KDE people there will be KDE 4.2 which offers some cool visual and performance updates.
Here is the release schedule, that gives you something to look forward to:
November 20th, 2008 – Alpha 1 release
December 18th, 2008 – Alpha 2 release
January 15th, 2009 – Alpha 3 release
February 5th, 2009 – Alpha 4 release
February 26th, 2009 – Alpha 5 release
March 12th, 2009 – Alpha 6 release
March 26th, 2009 – Beta release
April 16th, 2009 – Release Candidate
April 23rd, 2009 – Final release
I’m currently downloading the alpha 3 release of Kubuntu. As soon as it’s installed I’ll post a review.
