New features in 16.04 LTSSnap application format
Ubuntu 16.04 LTS introduces a new application format, the ‘snap’,which can be installed alongside traditional deb packages. These twopackaging formats live quite comfortably next to one another and enableUbuntu to maintain its existing processes for development and updates
Updated Packages
As with every new release, packages--applications and software of allkinds--are being updated at a rapid pace. Many of these packages camefrom an automatic sync from Debian's unstable branch; others have beenexplicitly pulled in for Ubuntu 16.04.
Linux kernel 4.4
Ubuntu 16.04 LTS is based on the long-term supported Linux release series 4.4.
Python 3
Python2 is not installed anymore by default on the server, cloud andthe touch images, long live Python3! Python3 itself has been upgraded tothe 3.5 series.
Golang 1.6
golang toolchain was upgraded to the 1.6 series, and gccgo wasupgraded to the GCC 6.1 release candidate 1. Thus the same level ofstandard library and compiler features are provided by both compilers onall fully supported architectures.
OpenSSH 7.2p2
Recent OpenSSH releases disable several pieces of weak, legacy,and/or unsafe cryptography. If you are upgrading a system remotely overSSH, you should check that you are not relying on these to ensure thatyou will retain access after the upgrade.
Support for the legacy SSH version 1 protocol is disabled by default at compile time. Note that this also means that the Cipher keyword in ssh_config(5) is effectively no longer usable; use Ciphersinstead for protocol 2. The openssh-client-ssh1 package includes"ssh1", "scp1", and "ssh-keygen1" binaries which you can use if you haveno alternative way to connect to an outdated SSH1-only server; pleasecontact the server administrator or system vendor in such cases and askthem to upgrade.
Support for the 1024-bit diffie-hellman-group1-sha1 key exchange is disabled by default at run-time. It may be re-enabled using the upstream instructions.
Support for ssh-dss, ssh-dss-cert-* host and user keys is disabled by default at run-time. These may be re-enabled using the upstream instructions.
Support for the legacy v00 cert format has been removed.
Several ciphers are disabled by default in ssh: blowfish-cbc, cast128-cbc, all arcfour variants and the rijndael-cbc aliases for AES.
GNU toolchain
glibc was updated to the 2.23 release, binutils to the 2.26 release,and GCC to a recent snapshot from the GCC 5 branch (post GCC 5.3.0).
Apt 1.2
Apt 1.2 includes the new privilege separation features introduced inApt 1.1. Importantly, the unprivileged "_apt" user is now used whenmaking outgoing network connections and parsing the results for thevarious apt transport methods (HTTP, HTTPS, FTP).
