Hi all,
It's been quite some time since I last updated you on Mobian's status, and just over a month since the first Mobian release, so it's time for a short summary of what happened during that time
The latest nightly build has been promoted to a reference release, as it brings quite a few improvements:
As always, it can be downloaded from our server.
The project also has its dedicated wiki. Anyone can register and edit or create pages, so feel free to contribute, any help will be greatly appreciated
Nothing to report regarding hardware support or power management, as we didn't make progress on these topics lately.
However, the team has been quite busy, and a growing number of packages are currently making their way into Debian, which is nice for both us and the Greater Good.
We might also offer more "desktop" environments in the future (sorry, no plasma mobile as we lack time to work on it, but if you're interested in helping us in this regard, please contact us on Matrix), so stay tuned for future updates!

The latest nightly build has been promoted to a reference release, as it brings quite a few improvements:
- Wake up on incoming call now also works on the CE
- GPS is automatically activated on boot
- /boot is now on a separate partition (this will be helpful if and when we decide to implement disk encryption)
- lots of packaged software have been upgraded to the latest available versions
- the image now includes a couple more useful software, as these have been improved for use on mobile phones:
- Eye of Gnome (image viewer)
- GNOME Authenticator (2FA)
- GNOME Sound recorder
- GNOME Todo (still WIP, UX is not perfect, but it's mostly usable, and can sync with Nextcloud)
- Eye of Gnome (image viewer)
As always, it can be downloaded from our server.
