The development of Ubuntu 12.10, code name "Quantal Quetzal", is now under way with the initial test release: "The 12.10 (Quantal Quetzal) alpha 1 milestone image set is now released. New features: Ubuntu kernel based on the final 3.4 upstream Linux kernel; the 4.7 version of GCC is replacing the 4.6 version that was included in Ubuntu 12.04; for 12.10, we intend to ship only Python 3 with the Ubuntu desktop image, not Python 2; automatic Apport crash reporting has been enabled by default again to catch problems early on...."

Pre-releases of Quantal Quetzal are *not* encouraged for anyone
needing a stable system or anyone who is not comfortable running
into occasional, even frequent breakage. They are, however,
recommended for Ubuntu developers and those who want to help in
testing, reporting, and fixing bugs as we work towards getting
this release ready.

Alpha 1 is the first in a series of milestone images that will be
released throughout the Quantal development cycle, in addition to
our daily development images. The Alpha images are known to be
reasonably free of showstopper CD build or installer bugs, while
representing a very recent snapshot of Quantal.
