Ubuntu's upcoming new version 10.10 Maverick Meerkat will be released on October 10th, 2010, but meanwhile if you are a developer or tester, you can play with the Release Candidate version which has been released on September 30th 2010 (or check out the daily builds).

A highly noticeable change in Maverick is the new font called Ubuntu Font.

It is a lot smoother than its predecessor "Sans" used in previous versions of Ubuntu. They did a good job at keeping it very easy to read with a nice and clear aspect, you can feel the Ubuntu style in it as it is very ressembling to the font used in the official Ubuntu logo.
