Ubuntu Touch 24.04-1.3 is a maintenance release of 24.04-1.x series. This release contains mostly bug fixes and small improvements. The notable ones are:

• Improved handling of desktop apps, including:
  • Allow launching X11 apps outside of Lomiri (e.g. from OpenStore/Snapz0r).
  • Fixed dangling placeholder windows and launcher entry when launching X11 apps.
  • Fixed launching applications written using GTK4.
• Improved handling of docks with input devices such as NexDock.
• Fixed playing back AMR voice message sent via MMS.
• Fixed scaling factor being slightly off in certain applications (in particular apps which use Qt auto scaling or embeded webview).
• Fixed shutdown hanging on some devices.
• General bug fixes and security updates.
