In many cases, the development priorities and new features intended for the next LTS version will be introduced in the first release of the new cycle, to be followed by two more standard releases to refine them before the next LTS comes out. With Ubuntu 20.04 LTS released in April, 2020, the version that starts this new development cycle is Ubuntu 20.10, which came out on 22 October, 2020. This release is the first step towards Ubuntu 22.04, the next LTS, due out in April, 2022. | In many cases, the development priorities and new features intended for the next LTS version will be introduced in the first release of the new cycle, to be followed by two more standard releases to refine them before the next LTS comes out.
