Doing anything special on April 23 next year? You should be — it’s the release date set for Ubuntu 15.04 ‘Vivid Vervet’.
The date, along with those of various other development milestones, is
listed on the Ubuntu Wiki page for the ‘V’ update. All dates are subject
to change due to unforeseen circumstances (but rarely do) but have
(since this article was originally posted) been ratified by the release
are now therefore now final.
Ubuntu’s previous spring release, 14.04 LTS, went live on April 17, 2014.
Veracity Potential Not Void
Having covered some 10 Ubuntu release over five years I’m familiar with
proposed release dates… and them not differing too wildly from the ones
made final.
Even so, things can change. Keep that in mind.
Key Ubuntu 15.04 Release Dates
As with all releases post-13.04, Ubuntu proper only makes fleeting
appearances in select milestone releases, specifically the ‘final beta’
and the ‘release candidate’ stages.
Ubuntu’s family of flavours, which may include Ubuntu MATE this cycle, take full advantage of the testing opportunities at hand.
- Alpha 1 – December 18th (for flavours)
- Alpha 2 – January 22nd (for flavours)
- Feature Freeze — February 19th
- Beta 1 – February 28th (for flavours)
- UI Freeze — March 12th
- Final Beta – March 26th
- Kernel Freeze — April 9th
- Release Candidate – April 16th
The final release of the Vivid Vervet in all its vivacious glory is pencilled in for release on:
- Ubuntu 15.04 Final – April 23rd
