Ubuntu 26.04 LTS enters Documentation String and Kernel Feature Freeze

As we are only a week away from Ubuntu 26.04 LTS Resolute Raccoon beta version scheduled for the 26th of this month, there are now two freezes to be set in place:

• Documentation String Freeze
• Kernel Feature Freeze

The documentation string freeze causes all strings (that is, text to be displayed on the screen for documentation) to be finalized in preparation for the translation that is set to end on April 9th. However, there are cases where exceptions are made, such as major typos, but the translation team must get the latest strings to avoid inconsistencies.

As for the kernel feature freeze, it’s a deadline for any new-feature-related kernel changes. It’s a point where the kernel for the upcoming version of Ubuntu, such as Ubuntu 26.04 LTS in this case, is feature-complete and is expected to only receive bug fixes.

As an aside, GNOME 50 is expected to land to Ubuntu 26.04 LTS soon, as the stable release of this version of GNOME happened yesterday.

It's Monday. Have a puffin.

Extraordinary 34-year-old #puffin dies after washing up on #Scottish beach

Seabird found at Balmedie in Aberdeenshire Jan 29 & taken to New Arc #Wildlife Rescue, where it later passed away

Rescuers noticed the bird had a ring on its leg, issued by British Trust for #Ornithology (BTO), charity focusing on study of #birds

They learned the puffin was 1st ringed on Isle of May in 1995, estimated to be three years old

Thus it was at least 34 years old when rescued

I hope this puffin finds you well.
