Hello, While working towards the 20.04.3 milestone, we received reports of the currently available shim package causing daily builds of our installation media to fail to boot on some devices[1]. A fix for that is now in progress, but as we would like to make sure the new version of the package is well tested before candidate images are built. Subsequently, we decided more time is needed. In addition to that we are also investigating an unrelated issue with our RISC-V images[2], whose root cause is not yet fully understood. As we feel that rushing things through is not the right way to go, we decided to play it safe and delay the point-release date a week, to August 26th.
That being said, we will be freezing the focal-updates pocket at the same date as originally planned (on August 12th), afterwards only releasing packages that are critical for the .3 milestone. Let’s all use the additional week for further testing. Remember that the progress of the 20.04.3 release can be tracked at any time via our release status tracking post on discourse: https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/focal-fossa-20-04-3-lts-point-release-status-tracking/22948 Thank you.
