This is why we need one or another way to give users ultimate option to stay with their OS of choice and use fresh Kexi apps. > Je la 28/04/2016 22:06, Jaroslaw Staniek skribis : > > On 28 April 2016 at 21:39, Swarup wrote: > > > On 04/28/2016 03:26 PM, Jaroslaw Staniek wrote: > > On 13 April 2016 at 21:29, Jaroslaw Staniek wrote: > > On 8 April 2016 at 19:54, Jaroslaw Staniek wrote: > > On Thursday, 7 April 2016, Swarup wrote: > > Hello there, > Any improvements made in providing ability for Ubuntu users to upgrade to > later versions?
