14 DAY TRIAL // On August 20, Canonical's Łukasz Zemczak sent in his daily report informing Ubuntu Touch users and developers alike about the latest work done by the Ubuntu Touch devs for Canonical's mobile operating system in preparation for the OTA-6 software update.
According to Mr. Zemczak, today's news is not that happy happy joy joy because it would appear that the PulseAudio implementation (the trust-store integration with audio and camera recording) whose landing we reported a few days ago is buggy and not capable of handling all situations. Because of this, the OTA-6 update might suffer a slight delay.
"OTA-6 testing continues. Sadly, we are slightly at risk of delaying our final image release - one of the earlier landed changes seems to require additional fixes to satisfy all our criteria. The feature responsible is the trust-store integration with camera and audio recording (pulseaudio)," says Łukasz Zemczak. "We might still make it in time if everything goes well though."
The emulator now boots correctly, but it's not in a semi-usable state
We also reported the other day that the Ubuntu Touch OTA-6 software update might be delayed because the emulator was broken. Well, Mr. Zemczak reports today that a fix landed for the "emulator not booting" issue, but it needs a lot of work to get into a semi-usable state so that the Ubuntu Touch devs can continue with the release of OTA-6.
Lastly, a translation re-spin might also be in plan for this weekend because various strings that have been added recently were missing during the exports. However, this will not affect the testing schedule of the Ubuntu Touch OTA-6 update, which is scheduled for release at the end of the month if everything goes according to plan. Tomorrow we will have more news, so stay in touch.
