In the days following the release of a milestone, packages are updated, bug fixes land. It makes sense in the time between milestones to use daily images available from the [[http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/|ISO tracker]]. ----- === Known Issues === ''The existence of a bug in these notes does '''not''' imply they will affect everyone. Some appear in specific circumstances'' Common known issues can be found on the Ubuntu Release [[https://wiki.ubuntu.com/XenialXerus/ReleaseNotes#Known_issues |Notes]]. NOTE: The fglrx driver is now deprecated in 16.04, and it is recommended to use its open source alternatives (radeon and amdgpu). ''' Upgrade Issues ''' * Upgrading from 14.04 to 16.04 works when you use the ISO to upgrade from. * Upgrading from 14.04 to 16.04 '''fails''' using update-manager * Upgrading from 15.10 to 16.04 works using either method. (Bug:1555237) Upgrade from 14.04.4→ 16.04 dies midway taking out the session. Further information can be found on a recent Xubuntu Devel [[https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/xubuntu-devel/2016-March/011093.html |mail]].
