Release notes

This release adds some new actions to make sure the UBports Recovery on the devices are capable of installing Ubuntu Touch. Some additional assertion actions make installation instructions more robust. The generated bug reports have been restructured a little to make them more useful for our developers and easier to understand for users looking for known issues. Last but not least, error handling for empty system image server channels and adb connection issues has been improved.

Notes to Developers

You may use the newly added adb:assert_prop and fastboot:assert_var actions to assert the value of adb getprop or fastboot getvar. RegEx matching is supported as well. This allows us to verify that devices are actually running a working UBports Recovery, by checking for the ro.ubuntu.recovery implemented in ubports/halium_bootable_recovery#22. As a quick shorthand, you can supply the verify_recovery option to your systemimage:install step, so you don't have to touch adb:assert_prop directly for this.

Syntax Example:

        - systemimage:install:
              verify_recovery: true
        - adb:assert_prop:
            prop: "ro.ubuntu.recovery"
            value: "true"
        - fastboot:assert_var:
            variable: "ro.ubuntu.recovery"
            value: "true"
        - adb:assert_prop:
            prop: "ro.ubuntu.recovery"
            regex:
              pattern: "true"
              flags: "i"
        - fastboot:assert_var:
            variable: "ro.ubuntu.recovery"
            regex:
              pattern: "true"
              flags: "i"
