Changelog

• Add verify_recovery option to systemimage:install action to ensure the installed recovery is capable of installing Ubuntu Touch. Proposed by @Flohack74 and @amartinz in #2420 and ubports/halium_bootable_recovery#22 and implemented by @NeoTheThird in #2529

Full Changelog: 0.9.3-beta...0.9.5-beta

Notes to Developers

You may use the newly added adb:assert_prop and fastboot:assert_var actions to assert the value of adb getprop or fastboot getvar. RegEx matching is supported as well. This allows us to verify that devices are actually running a working UBports Recovery, by checking for the ro.ubuntu.recovery implemented in ubports/halium_bootable_recovery#22. As a quick shorthand, you can supply the verify_recovery option to your systemimage:install step, so you don't have to touch adb:assert_prop directly for this.

Syntax Example:

        - systemimage:install:
              verify_recovery: true
        - adb:assert_prop:
            prop: "ro.ubuntu.recovery"
            value: "true"
        - fastboot:assert_var:
            variable: "ro.ubuntu.recovery"
            value: "true"
        - adb:assert_prop:
            prop: "ro.ubuntu.recovery"
            regex:
              pattern: "true"
              flags: "i"
        - fastboot:assert_var:
            variable: "ro.ubuntu.recovery"
            regex:
              pattern: "true"
              flags: "i"

Release notes

This release completes a milestone that has been on our roadmap for almost a year: An overhaul of the UI (#1150)! @pajlow and @NeoTheThird have been working tirelessly to consolidate the unholy mess of pug files full of messy javascript dom manipulation and transform them to neat svelte components.

Check out our good first issues, we're looking forward to see what you'll come up with!
