14 DAY TRIAL // Canonical has released another series of Ubuntu Touch images, bringing even more features and some important changes for Unity8 and Scopes.
The Ubuntu developers are back at releasing lots of new Ubuntu Touch images on a daily basis, even if none of them have been promoted as a stable update.
“Multiples images spawn today, some purposefully and some others as a side-effect of the archive beta freeze. We got some regressions, recovered, but still have promotions blockers, stay tuned!” said Canonical's Didier Roche.
A number of important features and changes have been added. For example, the new scopes infrastructure migration has been done for Unity8, a new content-hub API has been added, a number of toolkit changes for AP support have been implemented, some scope bug and races connection fixes have been added, the gallery-app got a click release, and the work for the Python 3.4 migration is still ongoing.
Ubuntu developers have a series of automated and manual tests in place that allow them to scan for problems before releasing a buggy image to the public. It makes the release process a lot faster, which is actually good news for the end user, but some time might pass between major updates.
