It was dated to release April 14th, and Google won't find me any answers. I have also been watching DistroWatch.com and a few other Linux news sites like lxer.com, unixmen.com, linuxinsider.com, omgubuntu.co.uk, etc... But nothing. As of this posting, it's 23 minutes from April 15th, so what gives? Do I just download the daily build and assume that's it? It's not even labeled as an RC. Any help is appreciated. Picture is a reference, stating the release timeline for 16.04 LTS:

Yeah all i could find was the final beta. Maybe they're running behind on schedule? I guess its better to wait for a week for the Final Release.

True, but I'm testing all major milestone releases of the Lubuntu equivalent to make sure nothing breaks on me before releasing the next version of MediCat DVD on the 23rd.

I too don't yet see a RC and when I attempted an upgrade from 15.10 -> 16.10 on DigitalOcean it failed so I suspect it not quite ready yet.

I've read somewhere that RC will not be announced publicy and that daily builds post 14th April are considered to be the RC. I'm not sure about these informations so take with a grain of salt.

I think you're right, it seems that the April 15th daily build is the RC. Either way, it seems very stable.

    Thor from "Pirate Software" said its just better to pirate the game than buy from a keyshop if you care about the devs

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    devs don't get hit with the chargebacks, the keys are free to generate
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    at least on steam
  • linuxares @ linuxares:
    Except he said the DEVS get hits with the chargeback cost

  • linuxares @ linuxares:
    since the key gets bought with a stolen credit card
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    there's nothing to charge back because the keys don't cost them money to generate in the first place
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    If the game has a crack sure
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Most these crack sites have dead links anymore or the crack don't even work
  • linuxares @ linuxares:
    @The Real Jdbye What don't you get? If someone use a stolen creditcard. Then sell said key on G2A. If I the dev sold the game key, I will get the charge back cost. That's how it works, it doesn't matter if I generate 300 keys if 300 of them are bought with stolen credit cards. I never said it was on Steam, but its the dev that gets hit. There is a ton of stories out there if you google it.
