UBports plans 20.04-based release, offers security updates for 16.04 |
|
The UBports team is nearing the release of a major upgrade, transitioning the base operating system from Ubuntu 16.04 "Xenial" to Ubuntu 20.04 "Focal". While the focus is on moving to the newer base, the older 16.04 platform continues to receive updates, including security fixes. "OTA-25 will arrive very soon and will consist almost solely of security fixes for Xenial. Although Xenial is end of life, there are some upgrade packages which can still be applied and we will aim to import all of those to the latest versions for that distribution. It will therefore be quite a big download. After this, there will be only Focal development. Our aim is to get Focal out around the end of December or perhaps into January. There is no absolute promise, so go easy on us. At this stage, we only have certainty about a small number of devices being able to run it but we are confident that the list will grow." Additional information on changes coming to the mobile platform and the upgrade to 20.04 can be found in the project's blog post. |
