RC updates begin shipping again February 12

UniSuperBox

Hello everyone,

I'm pleased to report that the first Release Candidate image in the OTA-12 cycle will ship tomorrow (Wednesday, February 12).

RC 2020-W07 image will be the same as what users in devel have today. Please see our open issues board to find what to expect when you update: https://github.com/orgs/ubports/projects/15

For users of the rc channel, this will begin the weekly release cadence anew. You will find a new update waiting for you in System Settings every Wednesday.

For users of the devel channel, you will see no changes to the daily release cadence.

This brings us closer to releasing Stable OTA-12.

As always, we rely on our users of the devel and rc channels to discuss with each other about interesting findings they have, then move those findings into good bug reports. You can learn more about reporting a bug on Ubuntu Touch at Bug reporting on the UBports Documentation.

Thank you to everyone who has tested, filed, and fixed issues with Ubuntu Touch and the new Unity8 to help us get to this point! We're almost there!

Is everything ok with the build? So far I can see only bacon has the new rc version: http://system-image.ubports.com/16.04/rc/

Giiba

It is working exactly as expected on my OPO.

mihael

@Giiba Yes, OPO (bacon) is the only one that got the update so far...

UniSuperBox

Yes indeed, it appears the job failed after shipping the update for the OnePlus One. We'll continue working on it and I'll update you all when it's working again.

mihael

Thank you again for all the great work you are doing!

Please include https://github.com/ubports/morph-browser/pull/273 in OTA12 or not being to use <select> will be a huge regression from OTA11.

UniSuperBox

As with all previous updates, you'll know when we're about to release OTA-12. The machinery has not gone into effect yet, this is still testing. It's just testing by more hands.

Giiba

@Fla that pull request is in dev as of last night and should be in rc for next week. Well before OTA12.
