Welcome to the last issue of Full Circle*.
Yes, it's true. This is the last issue of FCM*. This month we have the usual suspects: FreeCAD, Great Cow Basic, and Inkscape. But wait! 'What's with tmux making a return?' you may ask. Well, that was my fault. I completely forgot that there was a third part to it. Apologies to Simon for giving him a mini heart attack.
It came a bit too late for this issue, but the UBports team have released OTA-3 for Ubuntu Touch. It's mostly bug fixes, but there are a couple of new features. Also, they released a statement that future versions of Touch will run Android apps via Anbox. Anbox is short for Android-in-a-box and is a way for Android apps to run in Linux. I can see, initially, why Canonical didn't want Android apps running in Touch, but since the influx of Touch 'apps' were just mini-browsers loading up a link… most apps were pretty useless, and not even apps as such. Hopefully having Android apps running (containerised) in Touch will bring in more users.
Patreon made a bit of a blunder. They were changing their payment system to charge donors. It would mean that if you want to help FCM with $1 per month. You'd actually be paying more than a dollar as you'd be paying the cost of the transaction on top of the dollar. After a lot of bad press about it, Patreon ditched the idea. Patreon's crazy idea is why I added DonorBox to the site. For those who want to donate, but not through Patreon.
Anyway, enough babbling from me. Enjoy the holiday season wherever you are.
All the best, and keep in touch! Ronnie ronnie@fullcirclemagazine.org
* The last issue of 2017 that is. :)
