Ubuntu 11.04 - Natty Narwhal
Ubuntu 11.04 will use Banshee as the default music player, replacing Rhythmbox. Other new applications will include Mozilla Firefox 4 and LibreOffice, which will replace OpenOffice.org "if no insurmountable issues are encountered" in the coursework of development. LibreOffice was included in alpha versions of Natty for developer evaluation purposes, causing some technical writers to declare prematurely in January 2011 that it would be in the final release.
The naming of Ubuntu 11.04 was announced on 17 August 2010 by Mark Shuttleworth. Its release is planned for 28 April 2011. Ubuntu Desktop will use the Unity user interface in lieu of GNOME Shell as default. The move to Unity is controversial as GNOME developers fear it will fracture the community and marginalize GNOME Shell.
Beginning with Ubuntu 11.04 the Ubuntu Netbook Edition has been merged in to the desktop edition.
