On cdimage.ubuntu.com there are two versions of Hirsute Hippo.

I know that both are test versions released daily, but I can't find any information about the differences between the two.

  • If you don't get an answer here, I'd join the chat and join #ubuntu-devel to ask there. Someone there will almost certainly know. – KGIII Apr 13 '21 at 21:42

    @Aravinth, the *canary* is a label used for a special purposes related to testing. It's not always been used by the new Ubuntu Desktop installer, and won't always be... but that's still it's current use though it's *kinetic* currently - https://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-canary/current/ – guiverc May 18 '22 at 04:54

I'd suggest reading going to the initial source for topics like this, which is usually found on the Ubuntu Community Hub. ie.

https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/new-desktop-installer-preview-build/24765

As part of our continued work to refresh the Ubuntu Desktop Installer, we’re releasing an alternate preview build of Impish Indri that enables users to test the latest implementation.

The new installer has been developed in Flutter and builds on the hard work of the Yaru team to ensure it integrates seamlessly with the Ubuntu desktop style.

You can read more of the background behind the new installer here

Yes development on this started awhile ago now (hirsute cycle), it was hoped to be ready last release (impish), then jammy, but it's improving and is expected to be offered as an alternate ISO, even possibly an alternate installer on the primary desktop ISO for Ubuntu 22.04 LTS (jammy)

The canary ISO just provides the alternate installer.
