It's a day late, but the final release remains on track for next Thursday (24 April).

Get it here: http://releases.ubuntu.com/releases/8.04

Release notes: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyHeron/RC

Features include Gnome 2.22.1, Xorg 7.3, Kernel 2.6.24, PulseAudio installed and enabled by default, PolicyKit, Firefox 3.0b5, Transmission bittorrent client installed by default, Brasero CD burning utility installed by default, World Clock applet, new vnc client (vinagre), with lots more...

I've been using it for a few weeks now and it already feels more stable and polished than the previous release Smile

Hardy looks pretty solid.

Is it me or the Ubuntu and Fedora releases getting closer and closer together? F9 release candidate is due on the 22nd.
