Canonical sta valutando la possibilità di rilasciare un’altra versione per Ubuntu 12.04 “Precise Pangolin”, la quinta, con il kernel previsto per Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty Tahr.
Normalmente, solo quattro uscite sono state pubblicate per Ubuntu 12.04 (Precise Pangolin), ma il successo della distribuzione ha spinto gli sviluppatori a pensare di una nuova versione.
Canonical sta cercando di determinare la data di tale rilascio. La versione 12.04.4 e’ stata rilasciata nel mese di febbraio (ved. sotto) e il mese di agosto sembra una stima ragionevole ipotizzando di evitare di scontrarsi con la versione 14.04.1. cioè la prima versione aggiornata di Ubuntu Trusty.
Quando Ubuntu 12.04.5 arriverà lo farà molto probabilmente presentando il kernel Linux di Ubuntu 14.04 (Trusty Tahr), che potrebbe benissimo essere 3.13 o anche 3.14, rendendo questo un rilascio molto importante.
Come si ricorda novità di questa versione è l'introduzione di una nuova versione di Unity finalmente stabile ed usabile.
Ecco le versioni di Ubuntu 12.04 rilasciate fino ad oggi:
Kate Stewart has announced the release of Ubuntu 12.04.1, the first of the regular updates planned throughout the product's life cycle: "The Ubuntu team is very pleased to announce the release of Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS (Long-Term Support) for desktop, server, cloud and core products. The Ubuntu LTS flavors are also being released today. In the 12.04.1 release, we've added support for the Calxeda ECX-1000 SoC family, so businesses can prepare for a data centre dominated by low-energy, hyperscale servers by testing their workloads on the new hardware now. The Ubuntu Cloud archive also makes its début." Read the rest of the release announcement for further information.
