Yakkety Yak Alpha 2 Released

Recommended Posts

"My clarinet sounded like an apoplectic yak. For the brief days I blew

the trumpet, a hostile-sounding pig snorted along in jerky fits and

starts with the rest of the irritated band."

 

― Karen Marie Moning

 

 

The second alpha of the Yakkety Yak (to become 16.10) has now been

released!

 

This milestone features images for Lubuntu, Ubuntu MATE and Ubuntu Kylin.

 

Pre-releases of the Yakkety Yak 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 flavor developers and those who want to help in testing,

reporting and fixing bugs as we work towards getting this release ready.

 

Alpha 2 includes a number of software updates that are ready for wider

testing. This is still an early set of images, so you should expect some

bugs.

 

While these Alpha 2 images have been tested and work, except as noted in

the release notes, Ubuntu developers are continuing to improve the

Yakkety Yak. In particular, once newer daily images are available,

system installation bugs identified in the Alpha 2 installer should be

verified against the current daily image before being reported in

Launchpad. Using an obsolete image to re-report bugs that have already

been fixed wastes your time and the time of developers who are busy

trying to make 16.10 the best Ubuntu release yet. Always ensure your

system is up to date before reporting bugs.
