any news on updated Hardy Heron CD?

[a_hippie]

Hi all:

I'm waiting on an updated CD now that the new release has had some time to get bugs ironed out. I was just wondering if anyone had heard when a new ISO (with all the updates) will be available?

Thanks all!

regards,

Re: any news on updated Hardy Heron CD?

This is an interesting subject. With 7.10, I noticed that a fresh iso download (toward the end of 6 months) & install resulted in an OS that still required 150 updates through Adept. I wonder, also, how this works.
(btw, my HH fresh install thru CD has been great, up through the 25 updates I took today that were backlogged.) Would be nice to get new, updated iso's, especially for Live persistent flash drive building.

My uneducated quess: Next official Kubuntu final iso will be the Kubuntu 8.10 Intrepid Ibex.

Ubuntu releases a new version of its OS every 6 months. After a release, the version of all packages stays constant for the entire 6 months. For example, if Ubuntu ships with OpenOffice.org 2.0.x, it will remain at OpenOffice.org 2.0.x for the entire 6-month release cycle, even if a later version gets released during this time. The Ubuntu team may apply important security fixes to 2.0.x, but any new features or non-security bugfixes will not be made available.

and note that with the Kubuntu 7.04 & Kubuntu 7.10: (security problem but no new images):

These images are vulnerable to USN-612-1, a very serious flaw in the cryptographic library used to generate encryption keys. It is essential that you apply all security updates after installation before making any use of your system.
