Mar 25, 2016
  • Adoption of the whisker menu
  • Several improvements of the desktop interactions.
  • New font: Droid has been replaced by Noto.
  • The categorization in the menu has changed. Still work in progress, but we have gone from 5 main categories down to 3 - audio, graphics and video.
  • The application ubuntustudio-controls is now functional and able to administer realtime privilege for users.
  • Ubuntu has followed Debian in moving from libav back to ffmpeg.
  • As usual, lot's of applications have been updated. Special notice for ardour - the package is called ardour3, but the application itself is actually version 4.

New in Ubuntu Studio 15.04 (Apr 24, 2015)

  • Aside from a bunch of updated packages, we now have a new meta package called ubuntustudio-audio-core, which has all the essential parts for an audio oriented installation.
  • For more details on the latest updates for our desktop, such as xfce 4.12 - much of it correlates with Xubuntu, and therefore, please have a look at the release notes for Xubuntu 15.04.
