After reports emerged that Ubuntu distributions might implement the
most recent version of GRUB, still in beta stage in Trusty Tahr, there's
good news coming for its users, as GNOME 3.10 will also be available to
install from the Ubuntu Software Centre in Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. GNOME
Shell 3.10 is the most recent stable release of the popular desktop
environment, and has been been pushed into the ‘proposed’ testing
repositories of Ubuntu 14.04. |

It must be noted that earlier the older GNOME 3.8 packages in Trusty was supposed to equip Trusty. But following Canonical’s forking of the GNOME Control Centre many of the issues that previously held back the upgrade have since been removed, giving a go ahead to GNOME 3.10. The change will also mean that Ubuntu’s GNOME spin will also ship with the newer desktop shell installed as default. A handful of GNOME applications that debuted with the release, including GNOME Maps, have also been added.
Meanwhile, Ubuntu distributions might implement the most recent version of GRUB, still in beta stage in Trusty Tahr. Canonical doesn't usually pick packages that are still in the Beta stages but it just might make an exception for the GRUB 2.02. Further, the next major release, GNOME 3.12, is due for release in March.
Ubuntu 14.04 will be the next long-term support (LTS) version of the operating system. Many new features that were introduced in Ubuntu 13.10, such as scopes, will be fine-tuned in Trusty Tahr. Other features that didn't make it into the full version of Ubuntu 13.10, but made it into the new mobile version, Ubuntu Touch, will be included in all versions of Ubuntu 14.04. Prominent among these are image-based updates and the Mir graphics stack.
Main high points of Ubuntu 14.04, according to Shuttleworth, will be "performance, refinement, and maintainability."
