14 DAY TRIAL // The Ubuntu 14.04 LTS development is now in full swing and Canonical has announced that it will switch to the 3.13.x kernel after a few more tests.
Following on its promise to try to integrate the latest available Linux kernel into the upcoming Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (Trusty Tahr), Canonical is now ready to switch to the latest development version, 3.13.
“The master branch is currently tracking the latest 3.12.1 upstream stable kernel while the unstable branch has most recently been rebased to v3.13-rc1. We shall move our master branch to track v3.13 after some baking. We will also upload to the archive when it's ready,” said Canonical's Joseph Salisbury.
Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (Trusty Tahr) is expected to arrive on April 17, 2014. Canonical has already said that it is shooting for 3.13 stable kernel and that it might even go for 3.14, if there's enough time to test it properly.
