[Łukasz 'sil2100' Zemczak]

The Ubuntu team is pleased to announce the release of Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS
(Long-Term Support) for its Desktop, Server, and Cloud products, as well
as other flavours of Ubuntu with long-term support.

As usual, this point release includes many updates and updated
installation media has been provided so that fewer updates will need to
be downloaded after installation. These include security updates and
corrections for other high-severity bugs, with a focus on maintaining
stability and compatibility with Ubuntu 22.04 LTS.

22.04.4 also includes a new arm64+largemem ISO for ARM servers which provides
a 64k page size kernel. This can increase throughput at the cost of higher
memory usage. See here for more details:
