Hello Ubuntu developers,
Welcome to Hardy Heron Alpha-3, which will in time become Ubuntu 8.04.
Pre-releases of Hardy 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.
Alpha 3 is the third in a series of milestone CD images that will be
released throughout the Hardy development cycle. The Alpha images are known
to be reasonably free of showstopper CD build or installer bugs, while
representing a very recent snapshot of Hardy. You can download it here:

Alpha 3 includes several new features that are ready for large-scale
testing. Please refer to
http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/hardy/alpha3 for
information on changes in Ubuntu and
https://wiki.kubuntu.org/HardyHeron/Alpha3/Kubuntu for changes in Kubuntu.
This is quite an early set of images, so you should expect some bugs. For a
list of known bugs (that you don't need to report if you encounter), please
see:

Hardy, have a look at the hardy-changes mailing list:
http://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/hardy-changesWe also suggest that you subscribe to the ubuntu-devel-announce list
if you're interested in following Ubuntu development. This is a
low-traffic list (a few posts a week) carrying announcements of
approved specifications, policy changes, alpha releases, and other
interesting events.
