14 DAY TRIAL // Ubuntu 8.04 LTS Alpha 2 is expected on Thursday, December 20 and it will be used to track bugs that must be fixed. This release is not recommended for production machines, but if you want to hunt bugs and report them to the Ubuntu developers, go download it and install it on Thursday.
On Friday, Canonical released version 1.0 of the Bazaar Version Control, a version control system that allows multiple developers to assist and contribute independently to software projects. "Bazaar is designed for global teams of collaborating developers", said Mark Shuttleworth, founder of the Ubuntu project. "A large open source project like Ubuntu requires an extremely intuitive, robust and flexible version control system to accommodate hundreds of people working on shared code." "Bazaar is designed to support models of collaboration that have emerged since the Internet came to dominate software development practices”, said Martin Pool, project leader of Bazaar. “We set ourselves the challenge of creating a tool that open source developers will love to use, and have been delighted with the reception Bazaar is getting in both the commercial and free software communities.”
