What is Zesty Zapus ?

Zesty is an adjective meaning �great enthusiasm and energy�. It can also mean that something tastes rather citrusy (as citrus fruit peel is called �zest�).

Zapus is the genus name of a North-American meadow jumping mouse. The cute little rodent is said to be the only mammal on Earth that has a total of�18 teeth. Everyone needs a claim to fame, right?

Expect to see Google adjust to the new name over the coming weeks. Right now, a Google for the �Zesty Zapus� throws up some canny autocorrect suggestions:

And now, wed like to inform our Ubuntu Linux users about the fact that the Ubuntu Kernel Team is currently tracking early Release Candidate versions of the upcoming Linux 4.9 kernel for Ubuntu 17.04 (Zesty Zapus), but, for now, they are waiting for more mature RC builds to land before pushing the new kernel to the repositories.

"We are still tracking early v4.9-rcs for Zesty. This work can been found here: https://git.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-kernel/ubuntu/+source/linux/+git/unstable," writes Joseph Salisbury on behalf of the Ubuntu Kernel Team. "We will wait for a few more -rc releases before preparing an upload for Zesty."

Ubuntu 17.04 Zesty Zapus

Mark writes of the codename: �right now, Ubuntu is moving even faster to the centre of the cloud and edge operations. From AWS to the zaniest new devices, Ubuntu helps people get things done faster, cleaner, and more efficiently, thanks to you. We love the pace of change and we change the face of love.�

�We are a tiny band in a market of giants, but our focus on delivering free software freely together with enterprise support, services and solutions appears to be opening doors, and minds, everywhere. So, in honour of the valiantly tiny leaping long-tailed over the obstacles of life, our next release [is called Zesty Zapus].�

Don�t expect much in the way of major changes this early on. It�ll be a good couple of months before big user-facing changes are made.

Toolchains have been updated though, which is important if you�re a developer, and an influx of updated packages, libraries and toolkits will shortly spill in.

Hit the button below to navigate over to the Ubuntu image server. Here you�ll find daily builds of Ubuntu 17.04 in both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.

Ubuntu 17 04 Zesty Zapus Alpha 2 has Released and Available For Download

The second alpha of the Zesty Zapus (to become 17.04) has now been released!

Ubuntu 17.04, code named Zesty Zapus, is the future release that will succeed Ubuntu 16.10, and even though it�s End of life date has been scheduled for January 2018, the development team aims to bring a lot of upgrades, fixes, and additions in this release.

This milestone features images for Lubuntu, Kubuntu, Ubuntu MATE, Ubuntu Kylin, Ubuntu GNOME, and Ubuntu Budgie.

Pre-releases of the Zesty Zapus are not encouraged for anyone needing a stable system or anyone who is not comfortable running into occasional, even frequent breakage. They are, however, recommended for Ubuntu flavor developers and those who want to help in testing, reporting and fixing bugs as we work towards getting this release ready.

Alpha 2 includes a number of software updates that are ready for wider testing. This is still an early set of images, so you should expect some bugs.

While these Alpha 2 images have been tested and work, except as noted in the release notes, Ubuntu developers are continuing to improve the Zesty Zapus. In particular, once newer daily images are available, system installation bugs identified in the Alpha 2 installer should be verified against the current daily image before being reported in Launchpad. Using an obsolete image to re-report bugs that have already been fixed wastes your time and the time of developers who are busy trying to make 17.04 the best Ubuntu release yet. Always ensure your system is up to date before reporting bugs.

Ubuntu 17.04 Release Schedule

Key dates during the Ubuntu 17.04 milestone are as follows, as listed in the official Ubuntu 17.04 release schedule:

Alpha 1 � 29 December (for flavours)

Alpha 2 � 26 January (for flavours)

Feature Freeze � 16 February

Beta 1 � 23 February (for flavours)

UI Freeze � 9 March

Final Beta � 23 March

Kernel Freeze � 30 March

Release Candidate � 9 April

Stable Release � 13 April

Be sure to mark the Ubuntu 17.04 release date in your diaries folks!

The Zesty Zapus will be supported  for 9 months after release with select app updates, bug fixes and critical security patches, including new releases of Mozilla Firefox.
