Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty Tahr Released

story imageUbuntu released version 14.04 LTS (codename "Trusty Tahr") today. This is a long-term support distribution, meaning Ubuntu will support it with security and bug fixes for 5 years as it slowly replaces Ubuntu 12.04 LTS that preceded it.Recent notable changes, such as the move to systemd or the Mir display server, are absent in this release. However, this release adds arm64 and ppc64el architectures. OpenStack and other "cloud" tools also received many updates.

Although critics often disparage the animal codename, the uniqueness of the word does aide Internet searches. For example, if you search for "Ubuntu Bluetooth" you may get outdated information from previous versions that is no longer relevant. However, adding "Precise Pangolin" or "Trusty Tahr" really helps narrow down the results.

Can't wait to try this new LTS (Score: 1)

I've been on 12.04 till now, but as soon as I have time to migrate I'm keen to see the latest innovations. I'm particularly interested in the new support added for high dpi displays because I really like the trend towards better display technologies, e.g., IPS, high dpi, etc.
