Wily 15.10 Beta 2 is now released. We're one step away from the official release of the Werewolf[1] now! Thanks to everyone who helped push this release out, especially after the late respin!
Final release is the 22nd of October, so expect the final release to be available for testing the Tuesday of that week. Your help would be most appreciated then. Meanwhile, feel free to test dailies and work on bug management. There's plenty of issues that are covered in the release notes, so if you can help with those (even confirming, finding work arounds, triaging, etc.), that would be most appreciated. Thanks everyone!

Codenamed "Wily Werewolf", 15.10 continues Ubuntu's proud tradition of integrating the latest and greatest open source technologies into a high-quality, easy-to-use Linux distribution. The team has been hard at work through this cycle, introducing new features and fixing bugs. This beta release includes images from not only the Ubuntu Desktop, Server, Cloud, and Core products, but also the Kubuntu, Lubuntu, Ubuntu GNOME, Ubuntu MATE, Ubuntu Kylin, Ubuntu Studio, and Xubuntu flavours. The beta images are known to be reasonably free of showstopper CD build or installer bugs, while representing a very recent snapshot of 15.10 that should be representative of the features intended to ship with the final release expected on October 22nd, 2015. There is, however, one bug in this beta serious enough that it's worth calling it out in the release announcement. This bug affects all flavours, and will be fixed before release: 1) Depending on your location, Ubiquity may trigger a ubi-timezone error during install. If you encounter this, the recommended work-around is to install without an active network connection. Ubuntu, Ubuntu Server, Ubuntu Core, Cloud Images: Utopic Final Beta includes updated versions of most of our core set of packages, including a current 4.2.1 kernel, and much more.
