Vigtige ændringer:
- The SMS and MMS app now includes support for drafting messages — you can leave the chat while writing and return to complete and send the message. Inserting phone numbers into the recipient field has been streamlined. The issue with the accidental switching of the display of the username and phone number in the header has been resolved. An option to choose between dark or light themes has been added to settings.
- The Libertine app manager now includes a package search feature in the repo.ubports.com archive (previously, the search was limited to the PPA stable-phone-overlay), allowing users to proceed with the installation of selected packages from the search results.
- PulseAudio modules have been implemented, providing basic sound support for devices running Android 7.1.
- A stripped-down implementation of the compositor has been added. for camera usage on some devices with Android 7.1.
- New wallpapers have been added for Fairphone 2 and Nexus 5 devices.
- Compatibility with Nexus 5, Fairphone 2, and OnePlus One smartphones has improved. For Fairphone 2, correct camera orientation and audio channel assignments are implemented (issues with inverted selfies and swapped audio channels are a thing of the past).
- A 'Label' field has been added to the address book, making it easier to sort contacts by the first letter of their name.
- Icons indicating 4G and 5G networks are now displayed for networks that support these technologies.
- The built-in morph browser has added a 'Back to safety' button, which appears during certificate errors.
- Backendene "espoo" og "wolfpack", der blev anvendt til omtrentligt at bestemme positionen baseret på adressedatabasen for Wi-Fi adgangspunkter fra HERE og Geoclue2, er blevet fjernet fra leverancen. Backendene fungerede ustabilt, hvilket førte til fejlagtige oplysninger om placering. Efter fjernelsen er positionsbestemmelsen begrænset til GPS og oplysninger fra mobilnetværket, men tjenesten fungerer nu præcist og forudsigeligt. Som erstatning for wolfpack overvejes muligheden for at anvende dette i fremtiden. .
