- Changes for this release (compared to 19.10 Eoan Ermine):
- The package/metapackage selection screen has been removed from the Ubiquity (live session) installer due to a bug which caused unwanted packages to be removed.

- Audio setup tab is split into three tabs: Jack Master Settings, Extra Devices, Pulse Bridging
