Mark Shuttleworth about Ubuntu 7.04 (Feisty Fawn)
Shuttleworth said "the main themes for development in this release will be improvements to hardware support in the laptop, desktop and high-end server market, and an aggressive adoption of emerging desktop technologies."Ubuntu's Feisty release will put the spotlight on multimedia enablement and desktop effects. We expect this to be a very gratifying release for both users and developers".
"Edgy has been a wild ride, with some remarkable achievements (nothing like re-inventing and substantially improving on init!). Feisty will be a little more focused on features that are very visible to end-users,"

Details about Each Release date
Feature Freeze
The point at which we cease creating and modifying internal features and packages. This means we're pretty much locked down for bugfixes only.
Exceptions requiring confirmation
Packages in or relating to high-priority ReleasenameFeatureGoals
Major/minor fixes, within reason
Exceptional circumstances
Upstream Version Freeze
The point at which we cease accepting new upstream versions of packages, whether they are sourced from Debian or not. Selected Debian releases of the same upstream versions may still be pulled in for bug-fixes, but this would be a manual process.
Exceptions requiring confirmation
Packages in or relating to FeatureGoals
Minor fixes, if the upstream change is a micro-increment (or equivalent)
Major fixes, particularly blockers, if the upstream change is a minor-increment (or equivalent)
Exceptional circumstances
String Freeze
A string freeze is initiated in the project when all the human readable portions of code are no longer allowed to change. This gives the translation teams a chance to complete their translations without having to redo changed text. It also allows documentation to mention the actual UI names and messages.
Beta Freeze
Anal-retentive, high-caution period until the Beta Release goes out. Release and relevant section team confirmed fixes only! Once the BetaRelease is shipped, we roll back to FeatureFreeze status.
Exceptions requiring confirmation
ReleaseCriticalBug
SecurityCriticalBug
Exceptional circumstances
Beta Release
The BetaRelease is a testing oriented pre-release, usually one month before the Final Release.
Non Language Pack Translation Deadline
Some translation data cannot currently be updated via the language pack mechanism. Because these items require more disruptive integration work, they are subject to an earlier deadline. Translations which fall into this category are:
The Ubuntu installer
Translations which don't use gettext, including:
Firefox
debconf templates
desktop notifications via notification-daemon
Strings visible in the default desktop (live CDs don't get language pack updates)
Default menu items
Panel strings
All menu entries in KDE applications, which does not support translation via language packs
Kernel Freeze
The kernel freeze is a deadline for kernel updates, since they require several lockstep actions which must be folded into the CD building process. As with other freeze dates, exceptional circumstances may justify exemptions to the freeze, at the exception of the release managers.
Release Candidate (RC)
The release candidate is a production-quality pre-release one week before the final release.
Language Pack Translation Deadline
Translation data using the Language Pack mechanism is due at this deadline.
See NonLanguagePackTranslationDeadline for non Language Pack data.
Final Release
The final release is the finished product which is distributed with an official Ubuntu release number.
