http://www.fooishbar.org/blog can't think of a clever byline en http://www.fooishbar.org/blog/tech/x/sixPointOne-2004-09-16-21-12.html Ubuntu 4.10 (aka Warty), and X11R6.8.1 all got released, and all but the last throes of the Ubuntu release (it was closed by the time that was released) was done from the JSBH.

X11R6.8.1 initially went very smoothly, but then had some hitches, which involved the tarballs being removed with an allegation that some patches still needed to be applied (they didn't), and a duplicate announcement being sent. As a result of this, ftp.x.org isn't actually carrying 6.8.1 yet; the master source is on fd.o. But, to be absolutely clear, it is released for sure, and it is a security release, so you are advised to upgrade ASAP.

On to happier matters, Ubuntu was released yesterday, and I couldn't help but feel immensely proud of it -- like a doting parent. It's amazing how far it's come even from just a few weeks ago, and hopefully continues to rock as much. ]]>
