Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (RC) published

Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx LTS (RC) has published just now. In this release candidate version major changes has been done by developer. Last day a leakage has found in the video x.org. But withing 1 day is was fixed. Other changes are quite same as ubuntu 10.04 LTS beta2 release. Last 19 April I told you that Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Release Candidate is going to publish at 20th April. I heard it from one of my developer friend. Canonical will break the usual RC publish schedule. They want to publish it 2 days before schedule date. But x.org memory leakage has stop them to doing so. Though everything has done within schedule time. I wish that xorg memory leakage will be fully solve in final release.
