In an e-mail to the Ubuntu kernel team mailing list Canonical’s Roxana Nicolescu explains that the temporary pause is due to a “critical infrastructure change”, writing: This adjustment will allow us to focus on ensuring a smooth and stable transition.

Microsoft breaking a bunch of dual-boot systems by revoking insecure versions of grub during a standard Windows update is, uh, not great and was not supposed to happen, but it's worth mentioning that systems broken by this were running known insecure bootloaders and anyone running a distro that's actually on top of security updates was unaffected

Earlier this cycle Teemu Ikonen added support for displaying track position / length and a progress indicator to #phosh's media player widget 🥳 :

The above networks are mocked via python-dbusmock. Here's a screenshot of a real list:

@arunmani and myself worked a bit on making Wi-Fi networks easier to select in #phosh's quick setting status page by giving the Wi-Fi list more vertical space and making each list box row a bit wider thus making it easier to select via touch (the same applies to other status pages like Bluetooth device selection):
