14 DAY TRIAL // Ubuntu developers were announced last evening (November 28th) by Kate Stewart, that the upcoming Ubuntu 12.04 LTS Alpha 1 release is now in soft freeze state.
Ubuntu 12.04 LTS Alpha 1 is the first of two Alpha releases for the Precise Pangolin operating system, due for release this Thursday, on December 1st, 2011.
"This week we'll be testing the new ISO tracker as well as the Alpha 1 release itself, so respecting the soft freeze would be especially appreciated. If you have to upload something other than a fix to a blocking bug the release team has requested, please ask before uploading in #ubuntu-release." - said Kate Stewart, on behalf of the Ubuntu Release Team.
Ubuntu 12.04 LTS will be the 16th release of the Ubuntu operating system. Being an LTS release, Ubuntu 12.04 will have at least four regular maintenance releases.
"Just to be clear - this soft freeze is only for seeded packages in main and universe. If you're working on an unseeded package in universe, there is no need to ask before uploading," added Kate Stewart.
