Kubuntu Vervet Alpha 2 Released

[Marco Parillo]

The second alpha of the Vivid Vervet (to become Kubuntu 15.04) has now been
released!

Pre-releases of the Vivid Vervet are *not* encouraged for anyone
needing a stable system or anyone who is not comfortable running
into occasional, even frequent breakage.  They are, however,
recommended for Ubuntu flavor developers and those who want to
help in testing, reporting and fixing bugs as we work towards getting
this release ready.

Alpha 2 includes a number of software updates that are ready for wider
testing. This is quite an early set of images, so you should expect some
bugs.

While these Alpha 2 images have been tested and work, except as noted in
the release notes, developers are continuing to improve the
Vivid Vervet.  In particular, once newer daily images are available, system
installation bugs identified in the Alpha 2 installer should be verified
against the current daily image before being reported in Launchpad.
Using an obsolete image to re-report bugs that have already been fixed
wastes your time and the time of developers who are busy trying to make
15.04 the best Ubuntu release yet.  Always ensure your system is up to
date before reporting bugs.

Kubuntu uses KDE software and now features the final beta of new Plasma 5.2
desktop.

Vivid, we suggest that you subscribe to the ubuntu-devel-announce list.
This is a low-traffic list (a few posts a week) carrying announcements

A big thank you to the developers and testers for their efforts to
pull together this Alpha release!
