14 DAY TRIAL // The release schedule for Ubuntu 11.04 (Natty Narwhal) operating system has been published on the Ubuntu wiki. The distribution will be released at the end of April 2011.
For Ubuntu 11.04 (Natty Narwhal), the Ubuntu developers decided to change the release schedule again, to 5 Alpha versions, a single Beta release, and a Release Candidate:
December 2nd, 2010 - Alpha 1 release February 3rd, 2011 - Alpha 2 release March 3rd, 2011 - Alpha 3 release March 31st, 2011 - Beta 1 release April 14th, 2011 - Beta 2 release April 28th, 2011 - Final release of Ubuntu 11.04
As you can see, the work on Ubuntu 11.04 will start in one month after Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick Meerkat) will be released, on October 10th.
Until the first Alpha version of Ubuntu 11.04 will be made available for testing, on November 4th, we will have the second Ubuntu Developer Summit (UDS) event for 2010, on October 28th, which will take place in Orlando, Florida. So make sure you're there if you care about the future of Ubuntu!
Ubuntu 11.04 (Natty Narwhal) will be the 14th release of the Ubuntu operating system. It will bring support for multi-touch technology, improved artwork, better hardware support and ARM compatibility.
Until then, we have another version that should catch our attention and invade our computers, Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick Meerkat), which will be released on October 10th, 2010.
