        I'm happy to announce that, after much anticipation, Ubuntu Touch 24.04-1.0 is scheduled to be released on 24 September 2025.

        Currently, the schedule looks like this:

        Date Event
        31 July 2025 Platform stability freeze, 24.04-1.0 Beta 1
        14 August 2025 String freeze
        28 August 2025 Branch off, 24.04-1.0 Beta 2
        11 September 2025 Final freeze, 24.04-1.0 RC
        24 September 2025 Release version 24.04-1.0

        (See the explanation of the freezes here: https://cpad.ubports.com/sheet/#/2/sheet/view/z44Rl7-Ba5mzHRYXXuk-9l8ZweVF-+v5X30JnZw7bPw/)

        We're still a number of things left to do before we can release 24.04-1.0 to all users. However, at this point, we feel confident enough to define a finish line, especially given that Canonical has ended standard support for Ubuntu 20.04.

        App developers: you'll soon be able to submit applications built against 24.04-1.x to OpenStore

        As part of 24.04-1.0 Beta 1 release, we'll also declare ubuntu-touch-24.04-1.x Click frameworks as stable. Applications built against 24.04-1.x will be allowed to use APIs introduced in Qt 5.15, paving a way to Qt 6 migration in the future.

        We're working to make sure apps built against 24.04-1.x can be published on OpenStore. This should happen by 31 July.

          @peat_psuwit So the framework name ubuntu-touch-24.04-1.x is the final name and the x isn't some kind of a placeholder? I've been confused by this 😅

            @kugiigi Yes, ubuntu-touch-24.04-1.x is the final name. It's intended to represent the entirety of Ubuntu Touch 24.04-1.0, 24.04-1.1, 24.04-1.2 etc.

              I'm happy to announce that I have been using UT 24.04 for months and its amazing.

              Kindle works in both Ubuntu and Waydroid.

              Most banking apps work (which is merely a limitation of the banks, not UT).

              Internet is great.

              Everything works already with the sole exception of copy and paste. The paste doesn't work yet.

              Considering this has not been released yet - amazing.....
