class=”article first_main_article” readability=”40″>

Any news about Ubuntu and its release cycles discarded move to rolling release model and non-LTS versions are left with half time support, 18 to 9 months . This was decided by the Ubuntu Technical Board, as told in The H Open.

As you know, the debate about the “times” of Ubuntu has been a hot topic in recent weeks, but at least one thing has already been decided: no version rolling release . On the contrary, what arises is now reduced time of normal versions support half. For what purpose? The offer updated packages in their own upgrades.

apparently support time to save what used to test newer versions of packages to deliver them to the public. That is, the updates received in those nine months will not only security , as has always been, but include new versions of packages . In the coming weeks detailing all changes.

non-LTS versions published and kept as 18 months of support and LTS five years, in both cases, needless to say, only security updates.

An ideal time for Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS (and Co.)

few days late, we can not pass up the opportunity to announce the release of the second batch of maintaining the latest LTS Ubuntu and family , and this is an ideal time to enjoy a distribution-several, actually-date, stable and support long ahead.

With Ubuntu LTS special attention is the stability of the system, however these launches, we could call incremental updates also come with new versions of both packages as features, and in this case the characteristic star is the support for UEFI Secure Boot . Although not the only, much less.

Ubuntu

addition have also launched 12.04.2 versions of Kubuntu, Edubuntu, Mythbuntu and Ubuntu Studio. Xubuntu also, although the latter no launch announcement. No, Lubuntu not this time (hopefully for the next LTS will join the rest).

And not much else to say except to repeat that this is an ideal time to take advantage of these releases, overall very polished and pretty updated software (and the possibility of further upgrade it very easily). At this point we must recognize that the strategy Canonical with LTS is something to be welcomed, not least for the average user, who just wants that everything will work well without sacrificing the latest versions of its favorite software.

Remember that if you already have the 4.12 installed and keep your system up to date, do not have to do anything else. These releases are aimed obviously at new facilities. I hope you will enjoy!

Apple asks for time and patience iOS Maps 6

On Wednesday iOS came in June with several new, one of their banners the new app “Maps”. The mapping service developed by Apple was intended as a replacement for Google Maps luxury, but something went horribly wrong . The application was rejected, almost in unison by users due to photographs deformed, lack of information and the inaccuracy of many data.

screenshots quickly (some very funny, it must be acknowledged) flooded a Tumblr called The Amazing iOS 6 Maps, and the block had to break the silence. An Apple spokeswoman spoke with All Things Digital and urged patience users to improve the platform. This is one of the fragments translated:

launched this new map service knowing that it is a major initiative and we are just starting it. We are constantly improving it and, as “Maps” is a cloud-based solution, the more people use it the better. [...] We appreciate all customer returns and we are working hard to make the consumer experience even better.

Clearly the blame for all non-Apple , as the third party service applies as TomTom technology and OpenStreetMap. The problem is that the block rushed to promote the product as if it was the best possible alternative. There are gross errors that are inexcusable, even for a company that prides itself on its innovative retail products.

Google Maps does not become a product of the overnight, but its creators were able to work it gradually . In Apple were all over and I ended up leaving the backfire. According to All Things Digital , the development team of iOS maps 6 “locked” to work on a fix but you have to see how long.

So far Apple opened 17 job openings to add to the map service staff. According to TechCrunch, Google Maps folded the team to launch the new app for iOS before Christmas . Meanwhile, 9to5Mac said the Mountain View firm sent a version that is awaiting App Store approval. Do you think?
