Ubuntu 9.04 "Jaunty Jackalope" Alpha 3 Released
,----[ Quote ]
| The last Ubuntu 9.04 development update was in the middle of December (Alpha
| 2), but today Mark Shuttleworth's development posse has come out with a new
| update for the Jaunty Jackalope.
|
| In Ubuntu 9.04 Alpha 3 is the latest code based upon the Linux 2.6.28 kernel,
| X Server 1.6, and EXT4 installation support as we previously detailed. The
| Ubiquity installer also has home encryption support within this release.

Artwork for Ubuntu Jaunty Already Impressive
,----[ Quote ]
| Just before Intrepid Ibex came out, I had a few things to say about the new
| artwork. In a last-minute switch, things improved a little, but I was still
| never impressed with Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex in the way that Fedora 10 or Ubuntu
| Hardy Heron impressed me. It seems we are barely even started into the new
| release cycle, yet I can already say there are some very promising choices.
| Below are a selection of my favorites: (A number are proposed specifically
| for the betas, but that doesn’t mean they couldn’t be used.)

Jaunty Alpha 2 released
,----[ Quote ]
| Pre-releases of Jaunty are *not* encouraged for anyone needing a stable
| system or anyone who is not comfortable running into occasional, even
| frequent breakage. They are, however, recommended for Ubuntu developers and
| those who want to help in testing, reporting, and fixing bugs.
|
| Alpha 2 is the second in a series of milestone CD images that will be
| released throughout the Jaunty development cycle. The Alpha images are
| known to be reasonably free of showstopper CD build or installer bugs, while
| representing a very recent snapshot of Jaunty.

An early glimpse of Ubuntu 9.04
,----[ Quote ]
| The biggest change that I noted was the addition of an encrypted private area
| to your home user area. In the times in which we live, I can certainly see
| that coming in useful though it may not set pulses racing in some quarters.

Firefox 3.1, Linux 2.6.28 Enter Ubuntu 9.04
,----[ Quote ]
| The first alpha build for Ubuntu 9.04 was released a week ago and there
| wasn't too much to take note of in this inaugural development release for the
| Jaunty Jackalope. Many of the packages were the same as what can be found in
| Ubuntu 8.10, there was the same theme, and the exciting Ubuntu 9.04 features
| have yet to be implemented. However, since that release several new packages
| have been accepted into Jaunty that begin to show change.
