What's new?
This release of Ubuntu Touch is still based on Ubuntu 16.04.
• Initial support for FM radios (@mardytardi): If you own any of those devices: BQ E4.5, BQ E5, Xiaomi Note 7 Pro - you are lucky: Connect your headphones, download the FM Radio App and enjoy the show. Several improvements are planned, and consider it more like a proof of concept. Also it will not work on other devices since the kernel needs a few options set. More devices to come… • Messaging App (@lduboeuf): Some smaller improvements for MMS handling for bigger attachments. Also text messages with special characters from the HTML specification (&, <, >) are no longer truncated. • Jingpad A1 (@fredldotme): Support hardware video decoding in the Media Player App. • Wireless display support (@fredldotme): Finally some efforts were successful to fix Aethercast protocol to allow setting up an external display for your device and work like on a desktop. Note that also here, not all devices can support this, so it needs to be enabled by the porter for each device separately. We are still working on a final list. Also this needs a compatible Miracast adapter, and behold, not all of them are really “compatible”! It might need a few tries to find the right one. • Snappy backlight dimming (@Flohack): Now all devices brighten and darken the screen in the same amount of time, regardless of ambient lighting. This makes the device quickly accessible, and also prevents “pocket dialling” when the screen is too slow to turn off, but the user has already stowed it away.
Bugs and issues fixed
• External display improvements (@fredldotme): Indicator scaling is now correct on external screens, the launcher and app drawer do not disappear any more when operated with the mouse. • Sound playback during entering and exiting sleep was choppy for some devices (@fredldotme) • WiFi nags user for already known passwords and creates new connections randomly (@Pekkari)
