Everyone, allow us to introduce you to Ubuntu Touch OTA-12.

It seems like everything is new with this update, including a new home screen (don't call it a home screen), a color and style refresh that's safe for your eyes, and small tweaks to make your phone experience more thoughtful. Not to mention the herculean efforts under the hood. You can download OTA-12 right now on your Ubuntu Touch device. Or if you're running Ubuntu Touch from the devel, rc, or edge channels, you're already rolling with us on something newer than OTA-12. Enjoy the ride!

It has been four years since a retail device shipped with Ubuntu Touch preinstalled. Today, Pine64 helps us break that streak. The Pine64 PinePhone UBports 'Community Edition' is now available for pre-order!

The Dekko2 Hackathon has now taken place and a new version is currently being tested. This will be made available when that process is completed.

So what exactly was done.

Oxide has been replaced by qtwebengine https://gitlab.com/dekkoproject/dekko/issues/124

Then the following bugs were also fixed:

• special characters in non-UTF8 mails (https://gitlab.com/dekkoproject/dekko/issues/89)
• copy and paste context menu with Suru Dark (https://gitlab.com/dekkoproject/dekko/issues/158)
• app picker isn't closed after attachment is shared (https://gitlab.com/dekkoproject/dekko/issues/86)
• search activity indicator too big (https://gitlab.com/dekkoproject/dekko/issues/143)
• load images for individual mails (https://gitlab.com/dekkan/dekko/issues/18)

A very big Thank You indeed to all those who attended for their time and effort in making this happen.

The Onion Browser is now available for download in the OpenStore for whichever version of Ubuntu Touch you are using. We're sure many of you have been waiting for this so have fun.

Important Edit: Please note this is a first version, proof of concept only and some security features are not yet implemented, such as
moderate adblocking, resistance to canvas fingerprinting, obfuscating the UserAgent headers sent, etc. feel free to use on sites you trust but avoid dark web sites etc.

"This feels solid. This feels like a product. This feels good. It makes one’s life easier. It has everything that is needed, but not more. And it’s fully open and community based."
