Bang on schedule, Ubuntu 9.04 "Jaunty Jackalope" is ready for download.

So, what’s new? Well, if you read my post on the release candidate of Jaunty, you'll already know:

GNOME 2.26.1 desktop environment (KDE 4.2.2 for Kubuntu)
Kernel packages were updated to version 2.6.28-11.14, based on Linux kernel 2.6.28.9
Faster boot times
ext4 filesystem support
Wacom tablet support
Netbook support

I've been running the RC for a few days and it seems stable and well thought out.
