So with new linux-firmware, mesa, and gtk4 in -updates, I've triggered
another respin which we think will be the final candidates for .3

Call for testing: first set of 24.04.3 RCs ready!

Hello everyone,

The first set of initial release candidate images for the 24.04.3
point release are just finishing building. They'll be soon available
here:
https://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/472/builds

I do plan to trigger another set tomorrow with mesa and gtk4 in
-updates, which will be the final images unless we find a release
blocker.

Please pick up your favorite flavor images, start testing, and submit
test results on the tracker as today's images will be very similar to
tomorrow's. Thank you!


On behalf of the Release team,
Utkarsh Gupta

Questing Snapshot 3 released

Hello everyone,

I'd like to announce the third successful publication of the monthly
snapshot - Questing Snapshot 3. You can find the images on
cdimage.ubuntu.com, for instance:

https://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/releases/25.10/snapshot-3/
https://cdimage.ubuntu.com/lubuntu/releases/25.10/snapshot-3/
https://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-budgie/releases/25.10/snapshot-3/
...and so on. :)

Few teams have already started to update release notes, which could be found at
https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/questing-quokka-release-notes/59220

We'd like to remind you that these aren't production ready and should
be seen as "throwaway artifacts" for now.

The next snapshot is planned for August 28th so if you'd like to see
your changes in the snapshot 4 images, please have them in the archive
by August 25th, which is when we'll start preparing the RCs for
snapshot 4. And whilst at it, please don't forget to update the
Release Notes with the updates you worked on.

Stay tuned for more.


On behalf of the Release team,
Utkarsh
