Ubuntu 14.10 (Utopic Unicorn) released

Recommended Posts

Codenamed "Utopic Unicorn", 14.10 continues Ubuntu's proud tradition

of integrating the latest and greatest open source technologies into a

high-quality, easy-to-use Linux distribution. The team has been hard at

work through this cycle, introducing new features and fixing bugs.

 

Under the hood, there have been updates to many core packages, including

a new 3.16-based kernel, a new AppArmor with fine-grained socket control,

and more.

 

Ubuntu Desktop has seen incremental improvements, with newer versions of

GTK and Qt, updates to major packages like Firefox and LibreOffice, and

improvements to Unity, including improved High-DPI display support.

 

Ubuntu Server 14.10 includes the Juno release of OpenStack, alongside

deployment and management tools that save devops teams time when

deploying distributed applications - whether on private clouds, public

clouds, x86 or ARM servers, or on developer laptops. Several key server

technologies, from MAAS to Ceph, have been updated to new upstream

versions with a variety of new features.

 

The newest Kubuntu, Xubuntu, Lubuntu, Ubuntu GNOME, Ubuntu Kylin, and

Ubuntu Studio are also being released today. More details can be found

for these at their individual release notes:

 

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UtopicUnicorn/ReleaseNotes#Official_flavours

 

Maintenance updates will be provided for 9 months for all flavours

releasing with 14.10.
