A month ago, when Canonical unveiled the wallpaper that its next version of Ubuntu will bring by default, it said that they had turned on the disco. Then we said that things were getting interesting, but at that time they had not yet released their beta version. The beta version arrived a few days later in what we could say was the first important step of the next Ubuntu version, in the sense that we could already test it in an official beta. Now, Ubuntu 19.04 It has already taken the most important step before its official launch.
I am talking about what is known as «Feature Freeze » or "Feature Freeze", which means that no changes until after the official launch which has to take place next Thursday, April 18. From now on, any changes that are added will be to correct critical bugs that affect either the operating system or the installation process. The RC version should appear soon on the download web page by Canonical.
Ubuntu 19.04 will no longer accept any more non-critical changes
Ubuntu 19.04 will be an operating system that you will enjoy official support for 9 months, like all non-LTS versions of Ubuntu. Those 9 months are the 6 until the next version and 3 more of margin so that any user who has it installed does not suffer any surprise. It will not be a release with interesting news to mention, but it is said that the general performance of the system has improved a lot. Among the novelties that the standard version will include we have:
- Kernel 5.0.x.
- gnomes 3.32.
- Libre Office 6.6.2.
- Firefox 66.
- GCC 8.3.
- glibc 2.29.
- Python 3.72.
- Boost 1.67.
- rustc 1.31.
- libvvirt 5.0.
- Ruby 2.5.3.
- PHP 7.2.15.
- Open JDK 11.
- QEMU 3.1.
- Pearl 5.28.1.
- golang 1.10.4.
- IT DOES NOT INCLUDE native support for integration with Android, that is, neither KDE Connect nor GSConnect, which would allow us to control certain Android functions from Ubuntu.
- The rest of the Ubuntu flavors will also include new versions of its graphical environments and applications.
Do you want to install Ubuntu 19.04 or one of its official flavors?
