Ubuntu 11.10 Oneiric Ocelot: la roadmap completa.

Maria Susana Diaz | 08:18 |
Per quanto riguarda la prossima release di Ubuntu 11.10 Oneiric Ocelot possiamo notare come siano in programma tre versioni Alpha, due versioni Beta, e successivamente la Final Release prevista per il 13 Ottobre 2011.

Come si era già visto con Ubuntu 11.04 Natty Narwhal non ci sarà la Release Candidate ma una seconda beta che sarà rilasciata il 22 settembre dopo pochi giorni dalla beta 1 che vedrà la luce il 1 settembre.

Tra le novità:

  • Unity migliorato.
Ubuntu 11.04 Natty Narwhal è nato con la nuova interfaccia Unity che alcuni utenti Ubuntu non hanno accolto a braccia aperte, ma per la prossima versione si stanno pensando ad alcuni cambiamenti che renderanno più appetibile la nuova shell.
  • Gnome 3.
Il nuovo desktop di GNOME non è incluso nel CD ufficiale, mentre potrebbe fare il suo ritorno in futuro.
  • LightDM al posto di GDM.
 Via anche GNOME Display Manager, GDM, che verrà rimpiazzato dal più leggero LightDM e che offre la possibilità di essere personalizzato utilizzando HTML, CSS e Javascript.
  •  Déjà Dup di Default.
Lo strumento Déjà Dup sarà incluso per il backup.
