EOL Notice: Raring (13.04) will be End of Life on January 27, 2014

This is a notice regarding releases of Ubuntu that will reach end of life in about 2 days

The following versions of Ubuntu and derivatives will be officially end of life as of January 27, 2014:

  • Raring 13.04

New questions regarding the above posted after the aforementioned date may need to be considered off-topic. Old questions (posted before the end of life date) that are still being answered regarding these releases should have a comment included on them about upgrading to a supported release to continue to get support for their versions of Ubuntu.

This information can be confirmed on the official Ubuntu Wiki page that lists all current, development, and end-of-lifed releases

The date "January 27, 2014" was established in an IRC discussion with the release team. It has been confirmed in this announcement email.


Please make note that this is the first time that we will have a release EOL before an older release other than LTSes. 12.10 is not EOL-ing at this time, and has an EOL date of April 2013.
