It has been announced that the latest update to Ubuntu, version 10.10 will officially be released on 10 October 2010 (10/10/10).

Since I haven't used it, I'll leave it to those who have to decide whether they should update.

The Extreme Tech report on the release seems to say that most of the main changes are aimed at "portable" aps, and other new fads.

There has been some fairly recent comment from the AV people that a couple of "vulnerabilities" would be patched in the "next release," but that may have been done with the "interim version" that came out last April(?).
