=== Ubuntu Touch OTA-15 released ===

 

Lukasz Zemczak announces the release of OTA-15, advising that all

users should receive the update within 24 hours of his announcement.

He says that the release is only a "security bugfix update" and shares

a link to the release notes. Lukasz concludes his announcement by

informing us, "The next future OTAs will most likely be very similar,

concentrating only on critical security issues - until ubuntu-personal

enters the touch world with its snaps."

release that will come with the HWE [Hardware Enablement] stack from

still some bits I need to tidy up to get server images going, but that

shouldn't stop people from testing the desktop images."
