Ubuntu Touch OTA-23 Released - Still Based On Ubuntu 16.04, Adds Support For FM Radios
Ubuntu Touch OTA-23 is still based on Ubuntu 16.04 for its base as they still work towards moving to a newer Ubuntu LTS base but is an ongoing challenge due to all of the changes and being limited by their small set of community developers.
Ubuntu Touch OTA-23 does introduce initial support for FM Radios for devices like the BQ E4.5, BQ E5, and Xiaomi Note 7 Pro smartphones that have FM radio support. Right now the FM radio support is considered more like a "proof of concept" than production ready but further improvements are planned.
A decade ago back during the early days of Ubuntu Touch.
