Ubuntu 26.04.1 LTS, codenamed “Resolute Raccoon”, is here. This release
continues Ubuntu’s proud tradition of integrating the latest and
greatest open source technologies into a high-quality, easy-to-use Linux
distribution. The team has been hard at work through this cycle, together
with the community and our partners, to introduce new features and fix bugs.
As usual, this point release includes many updates and updated
installation media has been provided, so that fewer updates will need to
be downloaded after installation. These include security updates and
corrections for other high-severity bugs, with a focus on maintaining
stability and compatibility with Ubuntu 26.04 LTS.
