OTA-14 changelog

UniSuperBox · 4 Nov 2020, 15:39

Thank you to everyone who helped make OTA-14 possible! Despite taking only 34 days of development time, this release is HUGE!

This changelog is a non-exhaustive list of changes in this release. It was compiled manually by auditing pull requests on GitHub to ubp-5.1 and xenial branches. You won't find it anywhere in the Ubuntu Touch system yet, we haven't got that set up to work correctly.
