That’s now official, Ubuntu 8.10 Release is out, codename Intrepid Ibex.
If you are really in a hurry, you can already do an update, but be aware that it will take quite some time. I did the upgrade yesterday evening (GMT+2) and it took me more than 5 hours to download all packages.
I must say that there is no visible *big* change, appart from tabs in nautilus.
You will also notice in this screenshot the eject icon on removable devices, really usefull and time saving.
One of the best thing to me is better support for my DVB-T Tuner and integrated webcam. This means I don’t need to install additional drivers for my DVB Tuner and it won’t break my webcam.
Here is a short list of changes for this version:
- Kernel 2.6.27
- Xorg 7.4
- Samba 3.2 with ipv6 support and secure transfer
- Network Manager 0.7 - works much better than previously
- Firefox 3.0.3
- Gnome 2.24
- Improved Shutdown screen
One of the things I don’t like is it doesn’t integrate OpenOffice3.0.
Stay tuned as I will give you more feedback when I’ll have tested it more throughoutly.
