UBports' Ubuntu Touch OTA-4 RC Released, Upgrades To Ubuntu 16.04 LTS

Ubuntu 15.04 was released in 2015. Good to know "antiquity" is 3 years ago only.

On the internet anything older than 2 years is ancient history.

For those wondering why Ubuntu Touch is only now being ported to Ubuntu 16.04 (and not yet to Ubuntu 18.04), as reported in a previous Phoronix article:

Ubuntu 18.04 isn't being pursued yet due to the Mir changes around Wayland support, and just being a much different target than going from 15.04 to 16.04.

More information can be heard at about 24:06 in the Ubuntu Touch Q&A 25.
