[Bf-committers] Blender 2.57 and Ubuntu 11.04

[pete larabell]

I spoke with the ubuntu people, it is going to be in 11.10 in October.
It had to do with ubuntu using debian packages and the packages were
build for the OS when blender 2.56 was still obviously beta and they
don't put beta as a release....

2.57 release will be in 11.10
