14 DAY TRIAL // Canonical has been working really hard to get the new Ubuntu Touch Qt 5.2.1-based images off the ground, and the development team is making some great progress towards releasing the first promotable image for the rest of the users.
Getting Qt 5.2.1 in the Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and Ubuntu Touch development tree is a big achievement from the developers, but it also created a lot of problems, as it was to be expected. In any case, Canonical is on top of the situation and the company has made some great progress.
“Multiple images issued since yesterday. However, an infra change and unavailable devices made that we didn't get all test results (and the test results are delayed). As well, the live preview of running tests are under another url right now. This is getting fixed by the CI team (it seems to be a result of the system-image server path reshape),” said Canonical's Didier Roche.
A lot of fixes and features have been implemented in the new images built by the developers, even if those images didn't get a promotable status. For example, a unity8 locking screen fix has been added, a number of fixes for making packages available on powerpc, ppc64el, and armel64 architecture have been implemented, a few screencast improvements have been added, and some changes to the icon theme have been implemented.
Everyone is waiting for the new Qt 5.2.1-based images to make it to the stable repository, so start hitting that check for updates button.
