No idea what Beaver is. Did Ubuntu wrap the alphabet or something?
Yes. The current revision as of last week is 18.04 Bionic Beaver -- a major (LTS) release
Not intending to open up the discussion of Gnome vs Unity, simply expressing my own personal opinion about 18.04 Bionic Beaver choice of Gnome. Gnome 3.28 feels like a significant downgrade to me, coming from 16.04 Unity interface. I played with it for a few days in an honest attempt to get used to it and make the most use of it. No, I am missing too many time-savers from Unity. I am missing my Thunderbird icon in the system tray. Finally, I gave up and switched back to Unity + compiz and now I am happy again. The good thing though is that, once Unity is installed on 18.04, you get to choose to login to Unity or to Gnome/X or even to Gnome/Wayland in case you want to continue playing around with Gnome.
