The Ubuntu team is pleased to announce the release of Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS
(Long-Term Support) for its Desktop, Server, and Cloud products,
as well as other flavours of Ubuntu with long-term support.

As usual, this point release includes many updates, and updated
installation media has been provided so that fewer updates will need to
be downloaded after installation.  These include security updates and
corrections for other high-impact bugs, with a focus on maintaining
stability and compatibility with Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.

#FIXME: double-check the list of LTS flavors
Kubuntu 16.04.1 LTS, Edubuntu 16.04.1 LTS, Xubuntu 16.04.1 LTS,
Mythbuntu 16.04.1 LTS, Ubuntu GNOME 16.04.1 LTS, Lubuntu 16.04.1 LTS,
Ubuntu Kylin 16.04.1 LTS, and Ubuntu Studio 16.04.1 LTS are also now
available. More details can be found in their individual release notes:

#FIXME: double-check the support lengths of LTS flavors
Maintenance updates will be provided for 5 years for Ubuntu Desktop,
Ubuntu Server, Ubuntu Cloud, Ubuntu Base, Ubuntu Kylin, Edubuntu, and
Kubuntu.  All the remaining flavours will be supported for 3 years.
