De UBports Foundation heeft OTA5 van Ubuntu Touch uitgebracht. Ubuntu Touch is een opensource alternatief besturingssysteem voor smartphones dat Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, beter bekend als Focal Fossa, als basis gebruikt. Het is beschikbaar voor een beperkt aantal apparaten, waaronder de Fairphone 3, 3+ en 4, OnePlus 5, 5T, 6 en 6T, en Xiaomi Poco X3. OTA5 komt een half jaar na OTA4 en brengt een kleine verzameling aan veranderingen en verbeteringen. Meer informatie daarover staat in de releasenotes:

Ubuntu Touch 20.04 OTA-5 is a maintenance release of the 20.04 series with only a minimal number of changes. That said, we still have a few interesting changes:
Known issues:
- The power profile system has gotten more granular; it can distinguish sustained vs. interactive mode on supported devices.
- If you're one of the few people still running on Ubuntu Touch 16.04 OTA's, the settings migration issue when upgrading from Ubuntu Touch 16.04 OTA's on certain devices is finally fixed.
- The system will now notify the users if calendar synchronization fails due to authentication issue. This allow users to provide a new password if required.
- General bug fixes and security updates.
- The full list of changes is included at the end of this post.
- For the users of Waydroid Helper app, the icon for "Waydroid Stop" app entry will be broken. This is due to an internal change which requires Waydroid Helper to follow. Please follow this issue to see if Waydroid Helper is fixed.
- On some devices (such as Pixel 3a), double-tap-to-wake has been disabled due to stability issue. We might re-enable this feature in the future if we can fix the stability issue.
