New devices this cycle! With this update we have new devices officially joining the release cadence! This means that these devices will now have a “Stable” update channel available in System Settings → Updates → Update Settings → Channels. You can install Ubuntu Touch on these devices using the UBports Installer: * Sony Xperia X * Sony Xperia X Performance * Sony Xperia XZ * OnePlus 3 and 3T QtWebEngine 5.14 is here The system QtWebEngine has now been updated to version 5.14.2 from 5.11. This brings a newer version of Chromium to our included Morph Browser and all webapps. The browser is now 25% faster across all devices in the JetStream2 JavaScript and WebAssembly benchmarks, demonstrating much faster webapp performance. You are no longer limited to selecting a single word, or an entire line, or an entire paragraph of text to copy! Now you can use the touch handles provided to pick only the text you want. It is now possible to open downloaded PDFs, MP3s, pictures, and text files in the browser via the “Open” button in the top-right corner of the “Open with” page. This UI will improve with future releases.

Nouveaux dispositifs ce cycle !

Au moment de cette mise à jour, de nouveaux dispositifs rejoignent officiellement la cadence des sorties ! Cela signifie que ces dispositifs auront maintenant un canal « Stable » de mises à jour disponible dans Paramètres système → Mises à jour - > Paramètres de mises à jour - > Canaux. Vous pouvez installer Ubuntu sur les dispositifs suivants avec l'Installeur UBports : * Sony Xperia X * Sony Xperia X Performance * Sony Xperia XZ * OnePlus 3 et 3T

QtWebEngine 5.14 est arrivé

Le QtWebEngine système est maintenant mise à jour à la version 5.14.2 depuis la 5.11. Cela apporte une version plus récente de Chromium au Morph Brower inclus et toutes les applis Web.

Le navigateur est maintenant plus rapide de 25 % sur tous les dispositifs dans les benchmarks JetStream2 JavaScript et WebAssembly, ce qui démontre des performances d'applis Web beaucoup plus rapides.

Vous n'êtes plus limité à la sélection d'un seul mot, ou d'une ligne entière ou d'un paragraphe complet de texte à copier ! Maintenant, pouvez vous servir des poignées touch fournies pour ne sélectionner que le texte voulu.

Il est maintenant possible d'ouvrir des PDF, MP3, images et fichiers textes téléchargés dans le navigateur avec le bouton « Ouvrir » dans le coin en haut et à droite de la page « Ouvrir avec ». Cette interface utilisateur s'améliorera lors de publications futures.

What was old is new again Mardy worked hard this cycle to bring back the previous icon-based System Settings main menu. This interface was removed by Canonical during the final months of the project presumably to make a double-column layout work more easily. Now, you will receive an icon-based layout when the window is too small to allow the list-based layout to work well and the switch will automatically occur when needed. Upgrades, uplifts, upstreams Luca (of postmarketOS fame) has been working to build Ubuntu Touch components, such as Lomiri and its indicators, on postmarketOS, and therefore also on Alpine Linux. Building our components on Alpine means that we need to adapt to an entirely new stack: musl libc instead of GNU libc, newer compilers and build tools, and an overall different landscape. Luca's adaptations have brought our software closer to working on postmarketOS *and* made it easier for us to move to Ubuntu 20.04 and beyond. Joan has worked hard to give all of the core apps a first-impression design overhaul over the past five months. Almost all of the apps now use a simpler, cleaner, more eye-friendly design than our previous all-white splash screen of dark mode doom.

Ce qui était vieux est à nouveau neuf

Mardy a travaillé dur ce cycle pour raviver le menu principal des Paramètres système précédemment basé sur des icônes. Canonical a enlevé cette interface pendant les derniers mois du projet, vraisemblablement pour faire fonctionner une mise en page à deux colonnes plus facilement. Maintenant une disposition basée sur des icônes s'affichera quand la fenêtre est trop petite pour permettre la disposition à deux colonnes de bien fonctionner et le basculement aura lieu automatiquement en cas de besoin.

Des mises à niveau, soulèvements et en amont

Luca (connu pour postmarketOS) travaille sur la construction de composants d'Ubuntu Touch, comme Lomiri et ces indicateurs, sur postmarketOS et, donc, susi sur Alpine Linux. Construire nos composants sur Alpine signifie que nous devons nous adapter à une pile tout à fait nouvelle ; musl libc à la place de GNU libc, des compilateurs et des outils de compilation plus récents ainsi qu'un paysage globalement différent. Les adaptations de Luca ont

Messages, Contacts, and Dialer revamps We'd be remiss to not mention Lionel's [duboeuf] work on some of the core apps and their backed services during this cycle – he accounted for almost a quarter of our merged PRs after all! You no longer need to worry about missing that special someone's special day – the Contacts app now allows saving birthday dates. The Calendar loads these dates in a new “Contact birthdays” calendar automatically. The contact editor view has been overhauled, making it much easier to input a contact without the keyboard getting in the way and by finding the item you want in the combo-button interface when adding a field. Contacts now has swipe actions available, allowing you to easily delete, call, or text a contact from the contacts list. It is now easier than ever to import your contacts into Ubuntu Touch – the Contacts app offers to import a VCF file on its first run. It was possible to do this before by “sharing” a VCF file to the Contacts app, but this new shortcut makes the feature far more discoverable. Selecting the “Call” button from the contacts listing inside the Dialer now starts a call immediately instead of populating the number and waiting for confirmation from the user. Lionel fixed a particularly sticky issue with SMS and MMS messages overflowing their message bubbles. Audio recording and sending of video messages has also been fixed.

More thoughtful fixes We believe that we fixed Ubuntu Touch connecting to IPv6-only networks in ubports/network-manager-packaging#3, however we were unable to get any testing to confirm or deny this theory. The OnePlus One now correctly identifies the initial state of its proximity sensor. Its screen will now light when its charging cable is connected or disconnected and the screen will not blink when a phone call is started. ubports/repowerd#10 Magnetic phone sleep covers will now cause some devices to sleep and wake. This has been confirmed to work on: * Nexus 7 2013 * Xperia X * OnePlus One The torch switch in the Power indicator gained support for more devices, such as the Nexus 6P. The lomiri-ui-toolkit now has better support for the QT Platform Theme and icon themes, making the icons used in Lomiri itself the same as those used in apps. Newer devices, such as the Xperia X, no longer display in update settings “ghost channels” that cannot actually be installed on the device in Update Settings. ubports/system-image#13 and ubports/system-settings#242 Resuming of busy applications is now faster thanks to Alfred´s work to make the resume process asynchronous with the rest of Lomiri: ubports/ubuntu-app-launch#16

**How to get OTA-13

Existing Ubuntu Touch users

Existing users of Ubuntu Touch in the `Stable' channel (which is selected by default in the UBports Installer) will receive the OTA-13 upgrade through the Updates screen of System Settings. Devices will randomly receive the update starting today through September 28. This spread is to give us time to interrupt a bad update in the future (should that ever become necessary), *not* to accommodate any bandwidth restrictions.

If you would like to receive the update immediately, turn on ADB access and issue the following command over adb shell :

sudo system-image-cli -v -p 0 – progress dots

Your device should then download the update and install it. This process may take a while, depending on your download speed.
