  Proposed release note:

  = Backports are now more easily accessible =

  To enable users to more easily receive new versions of software, the
  Ubuntu Backports repository is now enabled by default. Packages from
  backports will not be installed by default — they must explicitly be
  selected in package management software. However, once installed,
  packages from backports will automatically be upgraded to newer
  versions.
