Ubuntu 24.04.5 LTS, codenamed "Noble Numbat", is here. This release continues
Ubuntu's proud tradition of integrating the latest and greatest open source
technologies into a high-quality, easy-to-use Linux distribution. The team has
been hard at work through this cycle, together with the community and our
partners, to introduce new features and fix bugs.

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-severity bugs, with a focus on maintaining stability and compatibility with
Ubuntu 24.04 LTS.
