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 introduce due nuove estensioni attive di default che ampliano la ricerca nella panoramica di GNOME Shell: una per avviare ricerche web e una per scoprire app dallo Snap Store. Un cambiamento che modernizza l’esperienza senza sacrificare il controllo dell’utente. #Ubuntu2604 #GNOME #
