- 8.04.1 - Release announcement. Some highlights:
- Firefox has been upgraded to the final 3.0 release
- The Samba client allows LANMAN authentication again, correcting problems connecting to some NAS and older Windows servers (#209520).
- Various problems with the FUSE interface to GNOME's new virtual file system (gvs) have been fixed, correcting certain problems accessing network file shares (#211205, #212789).
- The "Hardware Drivers" application no longer reports the proprietary nVidia driver as being enabled when it isn't installed (#216650).
- While we have fixed a number of audio-related issues, including a scheduler problem that caused audio stuttering under load (#188226), other audio playback problems may still exist, because so far we have been unable to verify a targeted fix that does not cause regressions for other users. We will continue to investigate this See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/191027 for details.
