The Gutsy Gibbon Tribe 1 is the first alpha release of Ubuntu 7.10, and with this new alpha release comes a whole host of excellent new features. The feature list for 7.10 has been slowly growing more exact since Gutsy opened late last month. While looking forward nothing is completely certain, here are some of the new things that have already arrived, such as GNOME 2.19, a new 2.6.22-rc kernel, as well as a good look at the approved specifications for Gutsy. '''Note: This is still an alpha release. Do not install it on production machines. The final stable version will be released in October 2007.''' = In General = https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/gutsy = Pre-Upgrade = Please make sure you have your linux meta package (e.g., linux-generic) installed before you upgrade from Feisty. = GNOME 2.19.2 = GNOME has been updated to 2.19.2 for Tribe 1. 2.19.2 has been the second development release for this GNOME cycle. Numerous bugs have been fixed and work on interesting new features has gone into various GNOME products as well. Expect new features not to be perfect yet, but it's worth having a look into them. = Kernel = Tribe 1 will release with the 2.6.22-6.13 (2.6.22-rc3-based) kernel. The Tribe 1 kernel will therefore feature significant enhancements and fixes that have been merged in the last few months into the mainline (Linus) kernel. == Desktop & Laptops == For massive power, heat and headache reduction the kernel now features dynticks, which in laptops should mean more battery life and burnfree laps, and in desktops, media center pcs etc. a quieter, cooler environment.[[BR]] For laptops especially, a new wireless stack is used that will allow for a much better wifi performance and driver management.[[BR]] The new flash handling module (UBI) will allow your flash devices (e.g. USB flash drives etc.) to last longer and work around any bad blocks that come up. UBI also makes it possible to dynamically create, delete and re-size flash partitions (UBI volumes). == Virtualization == VMI and KVM continue to grow by leaps and bounds. The KVM update brings many new features: faster performance due to initial paravirtualization support, live migration even between an AMD or Intel CPU, host suspend/resume support, CPU hotplug support and much more. == Drivers == Many device drivers have been added to the kernel allowing it to support a plethora of devices and accessories. == NTFS Write Support == ||Status:||<#FFEBBB>Drafting|| ||Implementation:||<#CCFFCC>Started|| ||Specification:||https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/write-support-for-ntfs|| NTFS write support will be enabled by default in this version, finally closing the the final gap in file sharing between Windows and Ubuntu. = Massive merge from Debian = As with the beginning of any development cycle, the Gutsy one has seen the merge floodgates upon once again. This merge not only brings in lots of new version of various packages, but also a fair number of totally new applications. = Improved automatic codec search = The automatic search for audio and video codecs was improved and it now better identifies what capability and version of a specific codec is required and what is available. = Download Tribe 1 = Get it while it's hot.
