To clarify, there is no release date for Ubuntu Touch. It is currently just a developer preview. I appreciate that development has begun and that the interim releases are for this purpose (and all I have used since coming to Ubuntu in '07), however the Friends App has replaced Gwibber at the Beta2 stage and some time after the feature freeze. Friends is not Gwibber, not in terms of functionality or even usage. To that end Gwibber should not have been removed for an early development release of a new app being built for a UI that is itself still only in early development. I am sure devs are being encouraged to embrace the new UI, but I think this is jumping the gun. Friends offers no benefits over Gwibber right now, I do not expect perfect, Gwibber never was but I found it very useful tool. If it was even the intent to bring Friends up to the Gwibber level of usability before the Raring release day then I would have no issue. But from the comments I can see that we will be lucky to reach that in 12 months time.
Friends could have been held back for the alpha phase of the next Ubuntu release and had a full cycle. Now we end up with this app in its current state for maybe the next 9 months that Raring is supported for no benefit for the user. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1165170 Title: Friends offers no way to change notification settings To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/friends/+bug/1165170/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
