Hi,

Lubuntu Alpha 3 is released, and for the first time, along with other Ubuntu 
images :
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/lubuntu/releases/oneiric/alpha-3/ 

You can have a look at the official announcement of Ubuntu Alpha 3 ;)

This is a quick overview of this milestone :
New features for Oneiric :
- ISOs build with official build system
- Many updates from LXDE (most components had a official releases)
- Build with recommends packages by default
- Use recommends instead of depends for most of components of
lubuntu-desktop
- Register correctly LXDE as a desktop environment by xdg tools
- Switch to xfce4-power-manager for power management
- Add a microblog client : pidgin-microblog

Known issues
- No alternate ISO available, I hope it will be fixed shortly after the alpha 3 
release.
- Using LXDM instead of Lightdm until configuration files are handle
correctly
- Include apt-xapian-index, which should be removed later

- Missing icons in the menu : http://pad.lv/819525
- No indicators on lxpanel : http://pad.lv/819528
- Installer require 4.6 Gb of free space : http://pad.lv/819538

Please remember that it's still an Alpha, we have still some times to test and 
fix the remaining issues.
