Ubuntu Unity 26.04 is Available to Download

 

The Ubuntu Unity project has published a new release, Ubuntu Unity 26.04. Unlike other members of the Ubuntu community editions, which made 26.04 a long-term support release, Ubuntu Unity is treating this version as a regular release. 

As such Ubuntu Unity 26.04 continues to use Unity 7.7, which has undergone maintenance. Our primary focus for this release has been to fix issues and bugs, so we can keep unity 7 going, while we work on an successor. This includes long standing bugs and moving away from unmaintained packages towards supported alternatives.

Notable fixes we’ve made are:

• fixed bug with wrong/missing window decorations for some GTK3/4 and Libadwaita apps
• fixed bug with synaptic not launching
• fixed tap to click on touchpads
• fixed snap apps unpinning from the launcher
• moved to vala-appmenu-panel to allow global menu to work in more applications
• moved from unity-gtk3-module to appmenu-gtk3-module
• new wallpapers
• fixes for some abandoned packages which were not building for 26.04
• some packages migrated from deprecated libraries (e.g. libsoup2 and libpcre3)
• removed broken Remote Smart Search support from Home Scope (unity-scope-home package)
• removed unmaintained packages such as cheese, vino and unity-gtk2-appmenu
• switched from gnome-screensaver to light-locker
• introducing new maintainers and contributors (welcome Tomasz, Gautham, Kavish, Alfred ,Lexi and Azzy!)
