ubuntu-distro-info from the distro-info package provides information about all Ubuntu releases.
You get an overview of all releases with
ubuntu-distro-info --all --fullname
For the "current" version
ubuntu-distro-info --stable --fullname
For the current LTS release
ubuntu-distro-info --lts --fullname
For currently supported releases
ubuntu-distro-info --supported --fullname
(This strangely includes the current development version although it is not supported yet)
To get the number of days till EndOfLive you add --days=eol (shorter -yeol)
ubuntu-distro-info --supported --fullname --days=eol
To get the number of days till the current development version will be released you can use just -y or --days
ubuntu-distro-info --latest --fullname --days
