The Xubuntu team is happy to announce the immediate release of Xubuntu 18.10!

Xubuntu 18.10 is a regular release and will be supported for 9 months, until July 2019. If you need a stable environment with longer support time, we recommend that you use Xubuntu 18.04 LTS instead.

The final release images are available as torrents and direct downloads from xubuntu.org/getxubuntu/

As the main server might be busy in the first few days after the release, we recommend using the torrents if possible.

We’d like to thank everybody who contributed to this release of Xubuntu!

Highlights and Known Issues

Highlights

• Several Xfce components and apps were updated to their 4.13 development releases, bringing us closer to a Gtk+3-only desktop
• elementary Xfce Icon Theme 0.13 with the manila folder icons as seen in the upstream elementary icon theme
• Greybird 3.22.9, which improves the look and feel of our window manager, alt-tab dialog, Chromium, and even pavucontrol
• A new default wallpaper featuring a gentle purple tone that greatly complements our Gtk+ and icon themes

Known Issues

• At times the panel could show 2 network icons, this appears to be a race condition which we have not been able to rectify in time for release
• In the settings Manager, the mouse fails to scroll apps in settings manager (GTK+ 3 regression)

For more obscure known issues, information on affecting bugs, bug fixes, and a list of new package versions, please refer to the Xubuntu Release Notes.

The main Ubuntu Release Notes cover both many of the other packages we carry and more generic issues.
