14 DAY TRIAL // The new OTA update for Ubuntu Touch is in the works, and it looks like it's entering its last stages. It's in the hand of the QA team, and it should be out in the next couple of weeks.
Ubuntu developers are now on a six-week cycle for the OTA updates, and they hope that it's going to be enough in order to weed out all the problems and various bugs. This new iteration is an important update, and some pretty big changes are expected to land.
"First promotion candidate has been built and is in QA's hands since last night. So far the images passed sanity testing for all the main platforms, and the QA team is in progress of running the regression tests. As mentioned before, we will be performing some image re-spins - meaning this is not our final release candidate. Two required fixes already landed with two more in progress," said Łukasz "sil2100" Zemczak on the mailing list.
Canonical has its hands full at the moment. There are three phones in the wild right now, on different parts of the world, and Ubuntu phones are about to launch in India, which is a huge market with a lot of users. The feedback for the platform is going to increase exponentially, and that should translate into a better operating system for everyone.
