This page is for the development of release notes. They will always be for the development version and will be published as final on release day.

Naming convention for the file should always be: ubuntustudio-<version>_release_notes_<language>.txt.

The text should also wrap at about 100 characters or so.

Ubuntu Studio Hardy 8.04

Ubuntu Studio is a multimedia editing/creation flavor of Ubuntu, built for the GNU/Linux audio, video, and graphics enthusiast or professional.

The Ubuntu Studio team is proud to announce its third release: Ubuntu Studio 8.04. With this release, which you can download for DVD in little over 800 MiB, Ubuntu Studio offers a pre-made selection of packages, targeted at audio, video and graphics users. Ubuntu Studio greatly simplifies the creation of Linux-based multimedia workstations.

For this release we have continued to update packages and fix critical bugs to better the Ubuntu Studio user experience.

We have developed a small application to help with managing settings in limits.conf like rtprio and memlock, which is useful for people working with realtime JACK applications.

Effort has been taken to simplify the user interface in this release. We have taken the design down to one panel and reduced the number of applets. There are no desktop icons and the theme has been made into a Feisty/Gutsy hybrid: much flatter but still retaining dome dimension. We have also included 3 new wallpapers that fit the audio, video and graphics themes. Compiz has also been included but is not enabled by default.

We also have PulseAudio included along with applications to manage it.

New applications included:

  • Open Movie Editor (replaces PiTiVi)

  • jaaa (JACK and ALSA Audio Analyser)
  • Ubuntu Studio Controls

  • PulseAudio

  • Compiz

As our wiki page at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuStudio states, "our aim is to make it more accessible for new users to get into the tools that GNU/Linux has to offer for multimedia creation and production. We also want to spotlight what's out there, and show users tools they might not know to exist." We have certainly fulfilled that aim with our third release, 8.04, and can only continue to improve.

Thanks to all who helped in Ubuntu Studio's creation!
