14.* non-beta, out yet?

Yes 14.04 is released. The version number tells you the release time. It is released in 20 (14) in April which is the (4)th month. The codename starts with the next letter in the alphabet. Ubuntu 13.10 was called (S)aucy so 14.04 starts with a (T) and Canonical chose to name it Trusty.

They don't just pull numbers from thin air.

The next version of Ubuntu to be released is 14.10 which is the (10)th month so will be 14.10 and will start with a U. The codename is Utopic.

As it is May 2014 then we can assume 14.04 is released and that 14.10 is in development

Isn't the development release Utopic Unicorn?

The release schedule for Utopic Unicorn is here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UtopicUnicorn/ReleaseSchedule

There isn't an alpha of Utopic yet so "do-release-upgrade -d" Will install 14.04 today. I'm not sure when that when that will change however.

Because LTS releases are meant to be very stable we always wait for the first point release before offing to upgrade from the previous LTS to allow time to catch any new bugs.

The 14.04.1 release is scheduled for July 24 see here

Thanks, Warren.

​You are quite rude and make arrogant assumptions.
