The combined partial upgrade and frequently asked questions sticky: Every development cycle stickies seem to grow on their own, in the previous cycle we had seven stickied threads, I would like to keep that number down, to make things a bit more managable. So to start with, here is a link to the Raring Ringtail release schedule: Release Schedule (Draft) QA Cadence Schedule If you are asked to do a partial upgrade, please read this first: Partial upgrade There always are many questions about what to do and how to do thngs during a release cycle: Common problems If you are looking for the Ubuntu Daily iso, have a look here: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ As many of you may know we have created a U+1 testing team to do a better job of reporting bugs, and generally to make things better for all during the testing cycle. To that end, we have created a wiki where a lot of information regarding testing is available. You don't have to be a team member to be able to test RR, testing is open to everyone regardless of your experience level. That being said, to get the most possible feedback from your bug reports, check this out, before creating a bug report: Create a good bug report Here are some more useful links: Saucy Changes Mailing List Ubuntu Developers Unity Design Discussion U+1 Team chat Talk to developers Chat with other forum members

Updated the raring-changes mailing list link.
@Cariboo907 I need confirmation of the 'Release Schedule' changes so I can edit the testers wiki accordingly. http://www.theorangenotebook.com/201...-machines.html Thank you in advance. Regards, ventrical
Is this what you are looking for? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RaringRingtail/ReleaseSchedule. It's hard to read because of the colours used, so hopefully it'll be redone in the next couple of days.

In the link I posted Guitara (Nick Skaggs) has noted that there will be no alpha releases and only 1 beta release - so I am assuming that the 'Release Schedule' is not up to date ?? -<>- Release The Release schedule has dropped all alphas, and the first beta, resulting in a beta and then final release milestone only. In addition, the freezes have been moved back a few weeks. The end result is the archive will not be frozen till late in the cycle, allowing development and testing to continue unencumbered. This of course is for ubuntu only. Which brings us to flavors! -<>- http://www.theorangenotebook.com/201...-machines.html
Beside the Alpha 1 entry it says tentative, flavours only. I assume that flavours only means the derivatives only, and not Ubuntu.
Cavsfan, yes that is correct.
Have a look at the Releases wiki page

The EOL dates actually just recently changed to May 9th, I think originally they were supposed loose support on the Raring release day.
