I’ll be adding it to the Daily Downloads calendar tomorrow… thanks Schwinn!
April 17th Ubuntu 8.04 RC1.
Not sure if it’s worth adding because next week ships the final one, but I’m telling you in case you are interested.
BR!
Looks like it might already be out, and so I’ll just include it in the Daily Downloads on Thursday instead of adding it to the calendar. Thanks though.
