A new version of uNav, the Free Software GPS Navigation App, for Ubuntu Touch is out!

In this new version you can expect:
* the restoration of more navigation options. Besides automobile drivers, unav can again be used by pedestrians, and cyclists;
* Carto is the new default map provider;
* extensive OpenRoute Service API migration;
* correction of the unit measures bug on the route details view;

We're now only missing the restoration of public transport naviagtion.

Once again an awesome piece of work by Marcos Costales! To which our Community is very grateful.

Go get uNav from the OpenStore!

First Stable Version of Matrix Client FluffyChat Just Dropped in the Open Store!

Thanks to the awesome and friendly work of our own community member Christian Pauly @krille:chat.regionetz.net, FluffyChat has released its first stable version!

To celebrate the release, UBports has now funnelled FluffyChat notifications through its very own push notification server (yay!).

But wait, there's more! To top off your weekend with a nice cherry, you can now create your own UBports.chat username on UBports own decentralized Matrix server! https://ubports.chat:8448/_matrix/client/#/login
