With the Ubuntu Touch OTA-4 finally rebasing the mobile OS on the Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus) operating system series, the UBports team can now concentrate their efforts on bringing more new features and improvements, which will land in the upcoming Ubuntu Touch OTA-5 release. Highlights of the Ubuntu Touch OTA-5 release include a new Morph Browser to replace the old Oxide Browser, which is based on a more recent version of the Chromium engine, new scaling features to display content at appropriate sizes on various devices, including phones and tablets, as well as to display websites the way they are designed.
