Ready to get back on the rollercoaster? Ubuntu 12.04 has officially opened for development.

Announcing the milestone on the Ubuntu Developer Mailing list, Matthias Klose writes: –

“The development version starts with updated versions of GCC and OpenJDK, some soname changes (boost, hdf5), and some changes with setting the build flags for package builds.”

The first alpha of the ‘Quantal Quetzal’ is due June 7th, with the first beta not due until September.
