Ubuntu Touch OTA-6 is now rolling out to Fairphone 2, Nexus 5, OnePlus One, BQ Aquaris M10 FHD, Nexus 4, Meizu PRO 5, Meizu MX 4, BQ Aquaris E4.5, and BQ Aquaris E5 HD devices as an incremental update to the OTA-5 version released two months ago, which rebased Ubuntu Touch on the Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus) operating system series. In Ubuntu Touch OTA-6, the Morph web browser app received support for restoring the previous browsing session at startup, support for Web Apps to access locally stored content, ReCaptcha support, themed scrollbars, an improved tabbed browsing experience, as well as the ability to stop the media when closing a tab. Morph will also now accept self-signed certificates.
