Typo in Ubuntu MATE 25.04 Release Notes?

I'm working on Ubuntu News stuff, and that includes looking at

Major Applications

Accompanying MATE Desktop :maté: and Linux 6.15 :penguin: are Firefox 137 :fire::fox_face:, Evolution 3.56 :e-mail:, LibreOffice 25.2.2

The Linux 6.15 is referring to the kernel? If so that should be 6.14, and maybe worth an edit.

Feel free to UNLIST this entry once seen, I'll likely do that myself anyway

Hi, @guiverc :slight_smile:

You've asked:

"(...) The Linux 6.15 [ in the "Ubuntu MATE 25.04 ('Plucky Puffin') Release Notes" ] is referring to the kernel?

Indeed, in the "Ubuntu MATE 25.04 Release Notes", the expression "Linux 6.15" is referring to the version of the Linux kernel. As far as I can tell, @Wimpy (Martin Wimpress) usually refers to the Linux kernel version, in the Release Notes of the several versions of Ubuntu MATE, as "Linux [version]".

If so that should be 6.14, and maybe worth an edit.

Great catch! :slight_smile: I've just submitted the following pull request to make that correction:

If / when that pull request of mine gets accepted (and the corresponding commit merged), the "Ubuntu MATE 25.04 Release Notes" available at https://ubuntu-mate.org/blog/ubuntu-mate-plucky-puffin-release-notes/ should then get corrected.
