Hi, 14.04 is released since a few days, and according to the activity on this mailing list and the Facebook page, it seems to have a bit of success :-) That's nice to see :-)
I didn't had the time to personally thanks all people involved in this release. It's not only this one, but all the previous releases which make this LTS possible. This is the achievement for many years of work and many hours many of you spend on it :-) So, to everyones, thanks a lot !! :-) So, Lubuntu 14.04 is an LTS, it means we will support our packages (= the LXDE ones and our specific packages living on the ISO) during 3 years. All common components with Ubuntu will be supported 5 years (like the kernel). I advise people to migrate to 14.04, because it's now the release we support the most, and all the work on the support will go to this release. Of course, it's not perfect, but we are working to fix the remaining little bugs. Of course, we will try as much as possible to push all the fixes to official repositories, especially the critical ones. However, I realized that we should also offer some safe-updates-but-still-too-much-for-the-official-repo to our users during this time. That's why I'm currently preparing those updates in https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-dev/+archive/staging (not sure we should keep this PPA for this purpose, but for now it should do the work). I have in mind : - New version of sylpheed (there is 1 or 2 fixes I'm also preparing for the official repo) - New version of gnumeric - Artwork more up-to-date (that will change the look and feel so we can't include it in the official repo) - Fixes in progress, before pushing them to official repo (like the problem of auto-started applications and the not-starting nm-applet). 14.10 is already “too” soon, but since it will generate some “cute” discussions, I'll send another mail later about this :-) Regards, Julien Lavergne
