Dolphin Publications B V ☛ Ubuntu 24.04 gets an official upgrade path to 26.04 LTS
Canonical is officially making the transition from Ubuntu 24.04 LTS to Ubuntu 26.04 LTS available. This coincides with the release of Ubuntu 26.04.1 LTS. The first point release primarily includes previously released updates and security patches, but for many business users, it marks the start of the migration to the latest LTS generation.
Ubuntu 26.04 LTS was released back in April, but Canonical did not immediately offer users of Ubuntu 24.04 LTS the standard upgrade option. According to Neowin, this was a deliberate decision. For LTS versions, Canonical typically waits until the first point release before users of the previous LTS version can automatically migrate to the new generation.

The Register UK ☛ Keepers of Noble Numbats to be offered a Resolute Racoon: Ubuntu 26.04.1 is coming
It looks like the Racoon has bedded in and settled down, as Canonical releases the first point release of this year’s Ubuntu LTS version, offering an upgrade to users on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS (Noble Numbat).
Ubuntu 26.04.1 is the first point release of April’s long-term support version, which will be supported until 2031. Assuming that it follows the pattern of previous Ubuntu LTS releases, 26.04.1 will be followed by four further point releases – usually, the final release comes a little while after the following LTS release. That means Ubuntu 26.04.5 should arrive some time after Ubuntu 28.04 - meaning in or around September 2028.

Ghacks ☛ Canonical Releases Ubuntu 26.04.1 LTS, Opening Upgrades for Noble Numbat Users
The Register reports that Canonical has issued Ubuntu 26.04.1, the first point release of this year's long-term support edition, and that support for it will continue until 2031; upgrade options are now being made available to users of Ubuntu 24.04 LTS (Noble Numbat), since Canonical does not provide upgrades to LTS users until the first point release.
Most of the official versions have released point releases corresponding to this one, although Ubuntu MATE and one other variant have not. System76 is also expected to launch Pop!_OS 26.04, based on Ubuntu 26.04.1.
In the same way as has been the case with the earlier LTS versions, four more point releases should come after 26.04.1.
