Ubuntu 11.04 將跳過RC及其發佈時間表

以下是一則小報導。
Ubuntu 11.04 將會跳過RC 版本，轉為發2個beta。其原因是Ubuntu團體都覺得臨到復活節假期才出RC太遲了，所以選擇了在1星期前發出Beta2.

Ubuntu的發佈時間表如下：
2010年12月2日 – Alpha 1
2011年2月3日 – Alpha 2
2011年3月3日 – Alpha 3
2011年3月31日 – Beta 1
2011年4月14日 – Beta 2
2011年4月28日– 令人期待的Ubuntu 11.04正式發布

無論Ubuntu作出任何變更，筆者也會全力支持！

參考自OMG! Ubuntu-----"Ubuntu 11.04 to drop Release Candidate, add second beta"
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ubuntu Release Manager, Kate Stewart has announced on the ubuntu-devel mailing list that Ubuntu 11.04 will not see a Release Candidate release.

The RC, originally scheduled for April 21, will be replaced with a second beta release on April 14.

The decision was based on the feeling "..that a release candidate …showing up just before the Easter holiday would be a bit late."

Continuing, Kate Stewart said: "After discussing this with the key stakeholders and not getting any negative feedback from them or in the weekly release meetings, we’re going to go ahead and add a Beta 2 for this release, and drop the Release Candidate from the Natty Schedule."

So, here is the new release schedule:-

December 2nd – Alpha 1
February 3rd – Alpha 2
March 3rd – Alpha 3
March 31st – Beta 1
April 14th – Beta 2
April 28th – Ubuntu 11.04
