UBports Installer 0.6.0-beta
A snap package can be installed by running snap install ubports-installer on any Linux distribution.
You can help us test this release on UBports OPEN-CUTS.
Release notes
This release finally introduces a graphical user interface for automatic reporting to UBports OPEN-CUTS (#1432). Just use the installer as you would normally, and select the appropriate result when it's finished. If you do not want to report tests, you can of course permanently dismiss those prompts. You can now also access a GUI to store your API key through our new-and-improved settings section in the global menu (#694). To accommodate an upcoming device, a new fastboot:set_active step has been added to the configuration file standard (#1469). Last but not least, this release fixes a whole bunch of long-standing issues by improving error handling in our adb/fastboot/heimdall library.

Notes for Developers
fastboot:set_active
The fastboot:set_active step provides access to the `fastboot --set-active=a" command. It is a niche requirement, but some newer devices depend on it.
