OTA-6 brings a number of fixes and improvements to Ubuntu Touch. In this release, we primarily focused on bug fixes and stability improvements.
Morph Browser
Half of the confirmed closed tickets for OTA-6 affected the Morph browser. This got to be so high, in fact, it swayed the decision to start the release process!
A number of high-visibility issues were fixed: • Unable to restore previous session at startup • No way to accept self-signed certificates • Webapps cannot access local content on device • ReCaptcha says “browser not supported” • Media playback does not stop when a tab is closed • Scrollbar theme does not match the system theme
We'd like to thank Chris Clime and Mateo Salta for their huge contributions to the browser during this cycle.
Oneplus One improvements
Florian made some changes which improve the experience for users of the Oneplus One: • WLAN MAC Address is set to fallback value • Earpiece or headset volume cannot be changed during phone calls • The remote side of a phone call hears an echo of themselves
Hacktoberfest helpers
We gave a few good first issue tickets the Hacktoberfest label in celebration of Digital Ocean's Hacktoberfest! A couple of these were picked up and fixed by helpful community members: • Welcome wizard should advance after hitting “Enter” when typing your name, thanks Miguel Gutiérrez! • URL input box should not have autocorrect, thanks Rocky Singh!
Infrastructure changes
We've made some exciting infrastructure changes during this cycle: • Added push gateway for Matrix, allowing apps to receive notifications from Matrix • Moved some apps to GitLab: calculator-app, music-app, ubports-app, weather-app
In the background…
Parallel to all this, we have brought up our Edge channel to test an upgrade to the newest upstream version of Libhybris on all of our devices. This is an essential step prior to upgrading to the latest upstream version of Mir, which should fix a number of the issues we are currently experiencing. A new version of Libhybris will also make porting to devices with Android 7.1 much easier.
