Ubuntu 26.04 LTS Resolute Raccoon enters the User Interface freeze

Today, Ubuntu 26.04 LTS Resolute Raccoon has entered a new stage of development, according to the release schedule.

The official Ubuntu documentation states that the user interface freeze means that there will be no more changes to how the upcoming version of Ubuntu looks, alongside the user interface elements and appearance. This has the following advantages for those working on the project:

• Documentation writers and translators will be able to work on a fixed target without the user interface changes causing chaos for them.
• Screenshot and documentations don’t become obsolete caused by a change in the user interface.

By preventing obsoletion of both the docs and the screenshots, this makes sure that users who need help using a specific application get the most up-to-date instructions.

To explain the freeze in more depth, here’s when will the changes be considered unacceptable:

• User Interface of individual applications that are installed by default
• Appearance of the Desktop
• Distribution-specific artwork
• All user-visible strings in the Desktop and applications that are installed by default

However, an exception can be applied in certain circumstances, and can be filed using the official bug tracker at Launchpad. These bugs explain the justification for the UI change, as well as the explanation as to how its benefits would break existing documentation, screenshots, and translations. You can request for the UI freeze exception here.

Ubuntu 26.04 LTS Resolute Raccoon will be released on April 23rd.

Ubuntu 26.04 LTS Resolute Raccoon Snapshot 4 released!

The fourth and the last snapshot has been released, highlighting the changes between the previous snapshot (January 29th) and the current one (February 26th). On March 26th, Ubuntu 25.10 Questing Quokka will reach the Beta stage according to the planned release schedule.

The official plan stated that the Ubuntu release team wanted to release Ubuntu every six months, while relying on the modern software engineering practices. More automated testing will be made to ensure that future releases will have next-to-zero problems that may cause a delay of the release. Alongside this, the release process will be refined to achieve the goal of little to no human intervention when dealing with releases.

The Ubuntu release team describe the snapshot releases as not production-ready releases, but as testable milestones that allow you to try out the upcoming version of Ubuntu without having to wait until the official release.

You can find those snapshots here:

• Ubuntu
• Edubuntu
• Kubuntu
