Canonical, through Łukasz Zemczak, has informed its users about the fact that the upcoming OTA-5 software update for its Ubuntu Touch mobile operating system will get new icons for all the core apps.

We reported a week ago that the next major update for Ubuntu Touch, after OTA-4, would arrive sometime in July. We also told you at the beginning of this month that the OTA-5 update would bring brand-new icons for the core apps. Today we can report that this change is all but confirmed by Canonical.

"In the meantime upstreams are starting to land icon changes to our core-apps. Currently those only land in rc-proposed - the store bits will be released along with OTA-5," says Łukasz Zemczak in his latest report sent to the Ubuntu Touch mailing list on June 12, 2015.

In related news, the highly anticipated OTA-4 has been finalized and sent over to BQ for testing. When they approve the update, it will be immediately sent to users worldwide, which might happen early next week. By then, a proper announcement will be published with its prominent features, but we already detailed the new features in a previous article published last month.
