Ubuntu Touch OTA-15 released
Łukasz Zemczak announces the release of OTA-15, advising that all users should receive the update within 24 hours of his announcement. He says that the release is only a “security bugfix update” and shares a link to the release notes. Łukasz concludes his announcement by informing us, “The next future OTAs will most likely be very similar, concentrating only on critical security issues - until ubuntu-personal enters the touch world with its snaps.”

5 Ubuntu Unity Features You May Not Have Known About
Derrik Diener, writing for Make Tech Easier, reminds us that Ubuntu Unity has been around since the 11.04 release but that some of its features are not generally discussed. In turn, he describes the HUD, launching a program using the Super key, using the Super key to launch specific lenses, using the Super key to open the trash, and revealing keybindings.

Lubuntu 17.04 (Zesty Zapus) PowerPC Daily Build ISOs to No Longer Be Produced
Marius Nestor of Softpedia writes that Lubuntu’s Simon Quigley has announced that starting with Ubuntu 17.04 there won’t be any ISO images available to install Ubuntu of its flavors on PowerPC 32-bit architecture. Marius says that while the daily builds for 17.04 will cease, support for Ubuntu 16.04 LTS on a PPC will continue until April 2021, and April 2019 for the Lubuntu flavor.
Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS Has Been Delayed Once Again, Should Land on Monday Now
Marius Nestor, writing for Softpedia, informs us that Canonical is not ready to release Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS as there are some minor issues that still need to be addressed. He says that this is the first point release that will come with the HWE [Hardware Enablement] stack from Ubuntu 16.10, and quotes Canonical’s Adam Conrad as saying “There are still some bits I need to tidy up to get server images going, but that shouldn't stop people from testing the desktop images.”
The 16.04.2 delay was also covered by Michael Larabel over on Phoronix: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Ubuntu-16.04.2-LTS-LM-Delay
