I would like to call for testers.</div>
<div><br></div><div>This release is a very exciting one as we have added a new set of features to the development release, including:</div><div><br></div><div><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif">* A new menu structure which works on any desktop environment. Len Ovens and Mish did a great job on moviing various apps to the right submenu and creating new menu icons.<br>
<br>* A new package named ubuntustudio-installer, which allows any person to install our metapackages and can fit into any desktop environment.<br><br></font></div><div><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif">* Instead of a settings menu, we have fitted in a new Settings Manager, with all settings in one place.<br>
Grub fixes</font></div><div><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><br></font></div><div><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif">* When you are in the GRUB Menu, the boot item for Ubuntu Studio will show "Ubuntu Studio" instead of "Ubuntu". Also, the latest -lowlatency kernel will be always the default boot item in the GRUB boot loader.<br>
<br>* The XFCE session in the LightDM is removed to avoid any confusion with the Ubuntu Studio session.</font></div><div><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><br></font></div><div><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif">You can find the Ubuntu Studio pre-Beta 1 images at <a href="http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntustudio/dvd/current" target="_blank">http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntustudio/dvd/current</a>. </font></div>
<div><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><br></font></div><div><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif">Find the testcases in the Ubuntu ISO QA Tracker (<a href="http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/302/builds" target="_blank">http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/302/builds</a>) for Ubuntu Studio and follow them (along with <a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/ISO/Walkthrough" target="_blank">https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/ISO/Walkthrough</a> as a reference document) to test the images. </font></div>
<div><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><br></font></div><div><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif">After you have tested them, report the results in the ISO QA Tracker.</font></div><div><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><br>
</font></div><div><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif">Make sure you DO report any bugs you found and report them using ubuntu-bug in your terminal or Launchpad (<a href="https://launchpad.net" target="_blank">https://launchpad.net</a>).</font></div>
<div><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><br></font></div><div><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif">Enjoy the testing and let's make the release happen!</font></div><div><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><br>
