The Ubuntu team is pleased to announce the release of Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS
(Long-Term Support) for its Desktop, Server, and Cloud products, as well
as other flavours of Ubuntu with long-term support.
As usual, this point release includes many updates, and updated
installation media has been provided so that fewer updates will need to
be downloaded after installation. These include security updates and
corrections for other high-impact bugs, with a focus on maintaining
stability and compatibility with Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.
Ubuntu Budgie 18.04.1 LTS, Kubuntu 18.04.1 LTS, Ubuntu MATE 18.04.1 LTS,
Lubuntu 18.04.1 LTS, Ubuntu Kylin 18.04.1 LTS, and Xubuntu 18.04.1 LTS
are also now available. More details can be found in their individual
release notes:
Maintenance updates will be provided for 5 years for Ubuntu Desktop,
Ubuntu Server, Ubuntu Cloud, Ubuntu Core, and Ubuntu Base. All the
remaining flavours will be supported for 3 years.
As always, upgrades to the latest version of Ubuntu are entirely free of
charge.
We recommend that all users read the 18.04.1 release notes, which
document caveats and workarounds for known issues, as well as more
in-depth notes on the release itself. They are available at:
