New Features:

Updated Packages

Linux kernel 3.13

Advertisment

Ubuntu 14.04 includes the 3.13.0-19.39 Ubuntu Linux kernel which was based on the v3.13.6 upstream Linux kernel.

Python 3.4

Python 3 with the Ubuntu desktop image, not Python 2. The Ubuntu 14.04 image continues this process, although we will not be able to convert everything to Python 3 for the Ubuntu 14.04 release.

If you have your own programs based on Python 2, fear not! Python 2 will continue to be available (as the python package) for the foreseeable future. However, to best support future versions of Ubuntu you should consider porting your code to Python 3. Python/3 has some advice and resources on this.
