Hey Everyone!

An updated `edge` image is being released for Ubuntu 20.04, Ubuntu 22.04, and Ubuntu 24.04.

Any changes to the image publishing process will be updated here.

This release is available under the `edge` tag.

They are also available as a dated tag if you wish to pin.

```auto
ubuntu-2004:2024.11.01

ubuntu-2204:2024.11.01

ubuntu-2404:2024.11.01

```

**Note: Edge-only dated tags will automatically redirect to the current published image once the new images are rolled out.**

## What’s New

Hi, we’re using `ubuntu-2004:current`. In the past few days, I noticed that our image went from `ubuntu-2004:2024.05.1` to `ubuntu-2004:2024.11.1` (the one mentioned here). The title of this post only mentions Edge changing. In the past, there was a separate post about when “Current” was changing: [Ubuntu 20.04, 22.04, 24.04 - Q3 Current Release](https://discuss.circleci.com/t/ubuntu-20-04-22-04-24-04-q3-current-release/51856)

(Separately, I don’t know why CircleCI was using `ubuntu-2004:2024.05.1` a few days ago when the post above says “Current” should have been using `ubuntu-2004:2024.08.1`. Do you know?)

In general, what should we expect as far as how changes to Edge and Current will be announced? Also, how soon after Edge is released is the version released to Current? Thanks.

PS - does your post say what “Edge” was being updated from? If not, I think that would be good to add.
