There was an announcement on the Ubuntu Development Announce list. Zesty
is now frozen.

The first Release Candidate will be available today (Friday) or Saturday.

Cheers,

Hi Pedro,

It's not just you. :-)

Some of the release team are USA based, and I can sometimes be ready for 
bed here in Europe before there is some action. Or sometimes there is a 
last minute bug somewhere that they want to fix first.


If you are keen to get started, it wouldn't hurt to zsync the Zesty 
Daily image. It will only be one day old, and probably not too much 
different. Then if you want to test again another day with the real 
release candidate, it won't take very long to zsync the changes.


Thanks for helping out.

Cheers,

Ross
PS: We on the release team normally get an email when the image is 
ready. I will forward that as soon as I see it.

Hi All,

The Zesty release is right around the corner and there will be release
candidates published starting on April 6th. The release is planned
for April 13th.

The date is not so convenient for people that take Easter
holidays, so in anticipating a shortage of our normal testers, we
are reaching out (no - begging) for extra people to come forward
to test the Release Candidate ISOs during that week, to help make
it a successful release.

The release candidates will appear here when they are ready:
http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker

And there are instructions on how to use the tracker and the
process to conduct the tests linked from there.

Please DO NOT do the tests on your favourite machine, in case
something goes wrong. Use a spare machine, or do it in a Virtual
Machine (a spare hard disk can be used - but only if you know what
you are doing - we don't want you to accidentally install over
your working hard disk!).

It takes time to get set up for the tests, so please prepare
early. You can also do a practice run using the Zesty Daily image.

If you get into trouble, please sing out here or on IRC. And
please report "positive" tests on the tracker, as well as submit
bugs for problems you find.

Ross

[ubuntu-studio-users] Testing for the coming Ubuntu Studio Zesty Release (17.04)

2017-04-02 Thread Ross Gammon 
Hi All,

The Zesty release is right around the corner and there will be release
candidates published starting on April 6th. The release is planned for April 
13th.

The date is not so convenient for people that take Easter holidays, so in 
anticipating a shortage of our normal testers, we are reaching out (no - 
begging) for extra people to come forward to test the Release Candidate ISOs 
during that week, to help make it a successful release.

The release candidates will appear here when they are ready:
http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker
And there are instructions on how to use the tracker and the process to conduct 
the tests linked from there.

Please DO NOT do the tests on your favourite machine, in case something goes 
wrong. Use a spare machine, or do it in a Virtual Machine (a spare hard disk 
can be used - but only if you know what you are doing - we don't want you to 
accidentally install over your working hard disk!).

It takes time to get set up for the tests, so please prepare early. You can 
also do a practice run using the Zesty Daily image.

If you get into trouble, please sing out here or on IRC. And please report 
"positive" tests on the tracker, as well as submit bugs for problems you find.

Ross
