One of the most well-known in-house developments in Ubuntu, the Software Center, will probably be replaced with the upcoming version 4.16 by the Gnome alternative. The old Unity Desktop stay but get.
On their Online Summit, the developers of Ubuntu currently discuss the planned changes for the upcoming version 16.4, codenamed Xenial Xerus. In the publication, with long-term support is a recent discussion According to the well-house Software Center is missing, which was once a unique feature of the Linux distribution. To provide spare Gnome software.
As a reason for this decision called the Canonical employees Will Cooke, it would probably fall the Ubuntu team harder Snaps to assist in the self-development than when using Gnome software. In the so-called Snaps is a new type of package in which the dependencies of software already exist. In order to implement the team wants to create extensions and necessary adjustments for Gnome software.
It is likely that Xenial is set to Gnome 3.18, so similar to the Fedora 23 already available then easy firmware updates could be carried out with Ubuntu. The update of several applications on Gnome 3:20, the developers want to present but still keep open. Mainly due to the sometimes very large patches of the Gnome libraries for the desktop Unity7, is usually set in Ubuntu on a non-current version of Gnome.
This will not change anything with Ubuntu 16:04 probably because Unity7 will remain the standard desktop. The written with Qt successor Unity8 which is intended to provide a converged interface for smartphones, tablets and desktop will probably integrated into the forthcoming version for testing purposes only.
The release of Ubuntu 4.16 LTS is scheduled for the end of April 2016th Canonical is the version maintain for five years. (sg)
