A number of video cards have been transitioned to free drivers as part of this update. </p><p> The -ati driver has received numerous fixes and performance improvements. It now uses the EXA acceleration method by default. 2D acceleration support for the newest R6xx/R7xx family of cards is also available. 3D support is available up to R5xx cards for -ati. An updated -fglrx proprietary driver is available for R6xx/R7xx users who need 3D support</p><p></p><p> <strong>New style for notifications and notification preferences</strong></p><p></p><p>Included in Jaunty is a simple menu which can be used to set preferences for notification icons, such as where they pop up on the taskbar. Ubuntu 9.04 beta also includes a whole new notification system, as shown in the Flash movie here: </p><p> <a href="http://www.markshuttleworth.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/jaunty904_notifications_example1_web_092.swf" target="_blank">http://www.markshuttleworth.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/jaunty904_notifications_example1_web_092.swf</a> </p><p></p><p> <strong>Boot performance</strong></p><p></p><p>A number of improvements to the Ubuntu start-up process bring significantly improved boot performance to Ubuntu 9.04 Beta. Please open bugs if you experience any degradation, and tag them with boot-performance. </p><p></p><p> <strong>Linux kernel 2.6.28</strong></p><p></p><p>Ubuntu 9.04 Beta includes the 2.6.28-11.37 <a href="http://kernel.org/" target="_blank">kernel</a> based on 2.6.28.8. </p><p></p><p> <strong>Ext4 filesystem support</strong></p><p></p><p>Ubuntu 9.04 Beta supports the option of installing the new ext4 file system. ext3 will remain the default filesystem for Jaunty, and we will consider ext4 as the default for the next release based on user feedback. There has been extensive discussion about the reliability of applications running on ext4 in the face of sudden system outages. Applications that use the conventional approach of writing data to a temporary file and renaming it to its final location will have their reliability expectations met in Ubuntu 9.04 beta; further discussion is ongoing in the kernel community. </p><p> Ext4 support in GRUB was provided by Colin King. If you choose to upgrade your / or /boot filesystem in place from ext2 or ext3 to ext4 (as documented on the <a href="http://ext4.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Ext4_Howto#Converting_an_ext3_filesystem_to_ext4" target="_blank">ext4 wiki</a>), then you <em>must</em> also use the grub-install command after upgrading to Ubuntu 9.04 Beta to reinstall your boot loader. If you do not do this, then the version of GRUB installed in your boot sector will not be able to read the kernel from the ext4 filesystem and your system will fail to boot. </p><p> Ext4 support in gparted has been provided by Curtis Gedak. </p><p></p><p> <strong>Cloud computing</strong></p><p></p><p>Ubuntu 9.04 Server Edition makes it easy to experiment with cloud computing. <a href="http://eucalyptus.cs.ucsb.edu/" target="_blank">Eucalyptus</a>, an open source technology which is included in Ubuntu as a technology preview, enables you to use your own servers to deploy, experiment and test your own private cloud that matches the Amazon EC2 API. You can dynamically create virtual machines, configure multiple clusters into a single Cloud and even provide an EBS (elastic block storage) equivalent and an S3 compatible storage manager. </p><p></p><p> <strong>Turn-key mail servers</strong></p><p></p><p>The dovecot-postfix package in Ubuntu 9.04 Beta provides an easy-to-deploy mail server stack, with support for SMTP, POP3, and IMAP with TLS and SASL. </p><p> dovecot-postfix was packaged by Ante Karamatić. </p><p> <strong>Testing wanted</strong></p><p></p><p> There are a number of specific areas of focus in Ubuntu 9.04 where the developers could use from more feedback from users. Read on to find ways that you can use the beta to help to improve the Ubuntu 9.04 final release. </p><p></p><p> <strong>Suspend/resume testing</strong></p><p></p><p>The Ubuntu kernel team has been gathering information about what laptops do and don't suspend and resume correctly. If you are running Ubuntu on a laptop and would like to participate to help make sure the kernel team has accurate information about Ubuntu's support for your hardware, please see <a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/SuspendResumeTesting" target="_blank">KernelTeam/SuspendResumeTesting</a>. </p><p></p><p> <strong>Hotkey testing</strong></p><p></p><p>Hotkey handling has been a source of difficulty in the past two Ubuntu releases. Significant improvement has been made to the range of hotkeys supported in Ubuntu 9.04, but more user feedback is still needed, to help identify those hotkeys that are not yet supported. If you have a keyboard with a hotkey that doesn't function as you expect, please see <a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Hotkeys/Troubleshooting" target="_blank">Hotkeys/Troubleshooting</a> for directions on reporting this problem in the right place.</p></blockquote><p></p>

Update Manager should open up and tell you: New distribution release '9.04' is available. Click Upgrade and follow the on-screen instructions. To upgrade from Ubuntu 8.10 on a server system: install the update-manager-core package if it is not already installed; edit /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades and set Prompt=normal; launch the upgrade tool with the command sudo do-release-upgrade; and follow the on-screen instructions. [B]New features since Ubuntu 8.10[/B] These features are showcased for your attention. Please test them and report any bugs you find on Launchpad: [LIST] [*] [URL="http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu"]http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu[/URL][/LIST][B]GNOME 2.26[/B] Ubuntu 9.04 Beta includes the latest [URL="http://live.gnome.org/TwoPointTwentyfive"]GNOME 2.26[/URL] desktop environment with a number of great new features, including: [LIST] [*] [URL="http://projects.gnome.org/brasero/"]brasero[/URL], developed by Philippe Rouquier and Luis Medinas, as an all-in-one CD burning application[/LIST][URL="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JauntyJackalope/TechnicalOverview?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=brasero.png"]https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JauntyJackalope/TechnicalOverview?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=brasero.png[/URL] [LIST] [*] Improved handling of multiple monitors with an updated gnome-display-properties by Federico Mena Quintero.[/LIST][URL="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JauntyJackalope/TechnicalOverview?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=gnome-display-properties.png"]https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JauntyJackalope/TechnicalOverview?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=gnome-display-properties.png[/URL] [B]X.Org server 1.6[/B] The latest [URL="http://www.x.org/"]X.Org[/URL] server, version 1.6, is available in Jaunty. A number of video cards have been transitioned to free drivers as part of this update. The -ati driver has received numerous fixes and performance improvements. It now uses the EXA acceleration method by default. 2D acceleration support for the newest R6xx/R7xx family of cards is also available. 3D support is available up to R5xx cards for -ati. An updated -fglrx proprietary driver is available for R6xx/R7xx users who need 3D support [B]New style for notifications and notification preferences[/B] Included in Jaunty is a simple menu which can be used to set preferences for notification icons, such as where they pop up on the taskbar. Ubuntu 9.04 beta also includes a whole new notification system, as shown in the Flash movie here: [URL="http://www.markshuttleworth.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/jaunty904_notifications_example1_web_092.swf"]http://www.markshuttleworth.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/jaunty904_notifications_example1_web_092.swf[/URL] [B]Boot performance[/B] A number of improvements to the Ubuntu start-up process bring significantly improved boot performance to Ubuntu 9.04 Beta. Please open bugs if you experience any degradation, and tag them with boot-performance. [B]Linux kernel 2.6.28[/B] Ubuntu 9.04 Beta includes the 2.6.28-11.37 [URL="http://kernel.org/"]kernel[/URL] based on 2.6.28.8. [B]Ext4 filesystem support[/B] Ubuntu 9.04 Beta supports the option of installing the new ext4 file system. ext3 will remain the default filesystem for Jaunty, and we will consider ext4 as the default for the next release based on user feedback. There has been extensive discussion about the reliability of applications running on ext4 in the face of sudden system outages. Applications that use the conventional approach of writing data to a temporary file and renaming it to its final location will have their reliability expectations met in Ubuntu 9.04 beta; further discussion is ongoing in the kernel community. Ext4 support in GRUB was provided by Colin King. If you choose to upgrade your / or /boot filesystem in place from ext2 or ext3 to ext4 (as documented on the [URL="http://ext4.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Ext4_Howto#Converting_an_ext3_filesystem_to_ext4"]ext4 wiki[/URL]), then you [I]must[/I] also use the grub-install command after upgrading to Ubuntu 9.04 Beta to reinstall your boot loader. If you do not do this, then the version of GRUB installed in your boot sector will not be able to read the kernel from the ext4 filesystem and your system will fail to boot. Ext4 support in gparted has been provided by Curtis Gedak. [B]Cloud computing[/B] Ubuntu 9.04 Server Edition makes it easy to experiment with cloud computing. [URL="http://eucalyptus.cs.ucsb.edu/"]Eucalyptus[/URL], an open source technology which is included in Ubuntu as a technology preview, enables you to use your own servers to deploy, experiment and test your own private cloud that matches the Amazon EC2 API. You can dynamically create virtual machines, configure multiple clusters into a single Cloud and even provide an EBS (elastic block storage) equivalent and an S3 compatible storage manager. [B]Turn-key mail servers[/B] The dovecot-postfix package in Ubuntu 9.04 Beta provides an easy-to-deploy mail server stack, with support for SMTP, POP3, and IMAP with TLS and SASL. dovecot-postfix was packaged by Ante Karamatić. [B]Testing wanted[/B] There are a number of specific areas of focus in Ubuntu 9.04 where the developers could use from more feedback from users. Read on to find ways that you can use the beta to help to improve the Ubuntu 9.04 final release. [B]Suspend/resume testing[/B] The Ubuntu kernel team has been gathering information about what laptops do and don't suspend and resume correctly. If you are running Ubuntu on a laptop and would like to participate to help make sure the kernel team has accurate information about Ubuntu's support for your hardware, please see [URL="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/SuspendResumeTesting"]KernelTeam/SuspendResumeTesting[/URL]. [B]Hotkey testing[/B] Hotkey handling has been a source of difficulty in the past two Ubuntu releases. Significant improvement has been made to the range of hotkeys supported in Ubuntu 9.04, but more user feedback is still needed, to help identify those hotkeys that are not yet supported. If you have a keyboard with a hotkey that doesn't function as you expect, please see [URL="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Hotkeys/Troubleshooting"]Hotkeys/Troubleshooting[/URL] for directions on reporting this problem in the right place.
