14 DAY TRIAL // Earlier today, Canonical's Łukasz Zemczak sent his daily report to inform us all about the latest work done by the Ubuntu Touch developers in preparation for the upcoming OTA-8 software update.
According to Mr. Zemczak, the devs managed to patch a power consumption issue that occurred when no network was available on Ubuntu Touch-powered devices, and new versions of the Unity Scopes Shell, Web Browser app, and account-polld were offered, all of them containing multiple fixes.
Moreover, a new version of the Oxide video player (oxide-qt) is uploading as we speak to the Ubuntu Touch repositories, and it will soon arrive in the hands of QA for some thorough testing. Also, the developers promise to fix all the issues that users reported from the Ubuntu Touch OTA-7 software update, if possible.
"With OTA-7 out of the door, normal landings continue," says Łukasz Zemczak. "Besides that, we also re-enabled commitlogs once again. The PPA-changes mailing lists are back up as well - we also added another list for all landings happening to the wily overlay-ppa in case those are needed."
Don't forget to let us know in the comments section below if you have any issues after installing the Ubuntu Touch OTA-7 update on your Ubuntu phones, and we will make sure that the developers know about them. We will keep you, guys, updated as much as possible.
