Zesty Zapus Beta 1 Released

Recommended Posts

The first beta of the Zesty Zapus (to become 17.04) has now been

released!

 

This milestone features images for Kubuntu, Lubuntu, Ubuntu Budgie,

Ubuntu GNOME,

Ubuntu Kylin, Ubuntu Studio, and Xubuntu.

 

Pre-releases of the Zesty Zapus 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.

 

Beta 1 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 Beta 1 images have been tested and work, except as noted in

the

release notes, Ubuntu developers are continuing to improve the Zesty

Zapus. In

particular, once newer daily images are available, system installation

bugs

identified in the Beta 1 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 17.04 the best Ubuntu release yet. Always

ensure

your system is up to date before reporting bugs.
