Release History
In June 2008, Ubuntu MID Edition 8.04 was released. Ubuntu MID Edition ended active development after 9.10 Alpha 6.
The development of MID has stopped, but Ubuntu continues to work on mobile distributions such as Kubuntu Mobile or the ARM version of Ubuntu.
Since the October 2011 Ubuntu Development Summit (UDS), there is new mobile interface in active development. In 2014, Canonical plans to release Ubuntu for mobiles, tablets and televisions alongside already existing Ubuntu Desktop and Ubuntu Server. This means creating a universal interface, that would adapt its shape according to the device it runs on. Mark Shuttleworth, the founder of Canonical, said the interface is going to be based on Unity (actual desktop environment, developed by Canonical in 2010).

Famous quotes containing the words release and/or history:
“The shallow consider liberty a release from all law, from every constraint. The wise man sees in it, on the contrary, the potent Law of Laws.”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
“History has neither the venerableness of antiquity, nor the freshness of the modern. It does as if it would go to the beginning of things, which natural history might with reason assume to do; but consider the Universal History, and then tell us,—when did burdock and plantain sprout first?”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
