“The third and final Alpha of the Lucid development cycle has
been released this evening – but what can you expect to find
inside?

“Music Store

“Although the music store is scheduled to land in Alpha 3 most
signs point to it being kept underwraps for a few more days. Factor
this in with the postponed “big” announcement which would have
likely touched upon the Canonical/7Digital partnership and all
roads lead to ‘not yet’-ville.

“Plymouth

“Pretty much everyone should now see a Plymouth powered boot
screen during boot up as the open-source Nouveau driver has now
been included – and enabled – by default for Nvidia users. ATi and
Intel users already have KMS support.”
