Puntualmente y con la regularidad y precisión que las caracteriza Canonical ha publicado la nueva versión de Ubuntu 21.04 nombre en código Hirsute Hippo.

No solo ha publicado la versión oficial de Ubuntu sino también la de todos sus sabores (derivadas oficiales de la distro). Algo a lo que ya nos tiene acostumbrados la distro creada hace más de 15 años por Mark Shuttleworth.

A continuación todos los enlaces de cada distribución y características a través del sitio Distrowatch:

Canonical has released Ubuntu 21.04 which carries the code name "Hirsute Hippo". The distribution's new version ships with GNOME running on a Wayland session as the default desktop and includes the built-in ability to join Active Directory domains. "Ubuntu machines can join an Active Directory (AD) domain at installation for central configuration. AD administrators can now manage Ubuntu workstations, which simplifies compliance with company policies. Ubuntu 21.04 adds the ability to configure system settings from an AD domain controller. Using a Group Policy Client, system administrators can specify security policies on all connected clients, such as password policies and user access control, and Desktop environment settings, such as login screen, background and favourite apps. Ubuntu 21.04 uses Wayland by default, a significant leap forward in security. Firefox, OBS Studio and many applications built with Electron and Flutter take advantage of Wayland automatically, for smoother graphics and better fractional scaling."

For those looking for a longer term support release we recommend our 20.04 LTS version which is supported for 3 years. Key highlights: Release of our first Raspberry Pi image. Thanks to new team member Sam, we are very proud of the work done and the positive feedback received from all beta testers. A huge 21.04 regular release: brand new budgie-desktop version. Layouts capability of our Window Shuffler. Refinements of our own unique Window Tiling capability - we have also received feedback that this works on Mate, GNOME Shell (Xorg), XFCE.

Martin Wimpress has announced the release of Ubuntu MATE 21.04. The new version offers nine months of support and includes several visual changes. "The MATE Desktop team released maintenance updates for the current stable 1.24 release of MATE. We've updated the MATE packaging in Debian to incorporate all these bug fixes and translation updates and synced those packages to Ubuntu so they all feature in this 21.04 release. There are no new features, just fixes. Ayatana Indicators: A highlight of the Ubuntu MATE 20.10 release was the transition to Ayatana Indicators. You can read the 20.10 release notes to learn what Ayatana Indicators are and why this transition will be beneficial in the long term. We've added new versions of Ayatana Indicators including ‘Indicators' settings to the Control Center, which can be used to configure the installed indicators."

The Ubuntu Studio team have announced the release of version 21.04 of their multimedia-focused distribution. The project's latest release will be supported through to January 2022 and includes several updated utilities: "This release includes Plasma 5.21.4, the full-featured desktop environment made by KDE. It uses the Materia theme and the icons are Papirus icons. Studio Controls has seen further development as its own independent project and has been updated to version 2.1.4. Ardour 6.6+ (a future 6.7 snapshot). Ardour has been updated to version 6.6+, meaning this is a git snapshot of what will eventually be Ardour 6.7. This had to be done because Ardour 6.5 started to fail to build with a newer library introduced into the Ubuntu archives, and could only be resolved with this snapshot. We hope to have Ardour 6.7 in via official updates once released. Agordejo is new to Ubuntu Studio this release. It was brought-in for those unsatisfied with RaySession's audio session management but found New Session Manager's interface to be too old and clunky."
