After informing us earlier this month about the new task manager that will be implemented in the upcoming Ubuntu Touch OTA-14 update for Ubuntu Phone and Tablet devices, reader Tomas Vicik is back with more interesting tips.

It appears that Tomas Vicik is using the rc-proposed channel on this Ubuntu Phone to get an early taste of the new features coming to the Ubuntu Touch mobile operating system developed by Canonical for various smartphone and tablet models.

He wrote in his last email that the appearance of the default Scopes was refreshed and it looks great, and that the new task manager now features a fuzzy background, which should enchant fans of the Ubuntu Touch OS.

"Hello, dear Softpedia, I have more screenshots from the new rc-proposed release of Ubuntu Touch OTA-14," said Tomas Vicik in an email. "I reckon that the newly refreshed appearance of Scopes looks great, and now the task manager background is fuzzy."

Ubuntu Touch OTA-14 to land later in November with Opus audio codec support

Among other improvements that landed in the rc-proposed channel of Ubuntu Touch, we can mention new versions of the qtmultimedia and gst-plugins-bad0.10 packages, which enable support for the Opus audio codec.

Canonical's Lukasz Zemczak reports in his latest landing email that Ubuntu Touch OTA-14 preparations are still ongoing, but users should expect a slight delay. The software update is focused on bug fixes and performance improvements only.

Ubuntu Touch OTA-14 was supposed to be out tomorrow, November 14, 2016, but it looks like that's not the case anymore. We'll update our readers when a new release date is announced, as well as if we receive any other exciting news tips about the OTA-14 update.

Thanks Tomas Vicik for the news tip!
