Zanimljiv osvrt na Ubuntuove click pakete i kako bi oni mogli možda pomoći lakšem razvoju aplikacija za Linux i općenito većoj kompatibilnosti, click paketi su također ograničeni u pristupu sustavu pa imaju veću sigurnost, zato click paketa neće biti za Unity 7 jer nema fully confined environment, Unity 8 će ih imati. Deb paketi će se i dalje naravno koristiti.

Canonical's work on the next-generation Unity 8 interface for the Ubuntu desktop powered by the Mir display server is taking shape on the desktop and complementing their mobile work well.

Kevin Gunn of Canonical wrote a Mir and Unity 8 update on Tuesday. Among the landed Unity 8 work includes a new Dash list overview, continued work on full-shell rotation, Unity 8 on the desktop is starting to look into multi-monitor support, the welcome wizard was migrated to Unity 8, and various bugs have been squashed.

On the Mir side, recent work includes Hardware Composer (HWC) 1.3 support, continued work on making the input platform dynamic, integration work for libinput functionality alongside Android input support, moved to a less ABI-breakage prone interface, prep work for supporting external displays on Android devices, automatic driver probing, a desktop zoom feature was added, wider support for display buffer pixel formats in the Mesa driver, and Mir is now starting to work with HDMI connections -- including Mir with 4K resolution displays.

The full Unity 8 and Mir update can be found via the ubuntu-phone mailing list. For those out of the loop, Ubuntu 15.04 on the desktop will still be sticking to Unity 7 with an X.Org Server.

Ubuntu Touch može vrtiti X aplikacije preko XMira.

Toliko često spominjana konvergencija na djelu. Ovo me stvarno veseli.

Mislim da vrtiti X aplikacije na mobitelu nije dio planiranog convergencea, convergence je uključivanje mobitela/tableta u dock (pretpostavljam) i onda dobijemo puni desktop Ubuntu, a Unity 8 i mobilne aplikacije dobiju desktop izgled, X aplikacije se onda vrte normalno preko Mira/XMira. Iako vrtiti X aplikacije na mobitelu je zgodna stvar, jedino ne znam kako im se scalea izgled na mobitelu/tabletu. Ali moglo bi poslužiti za neke primjene ali je pitanje koliko X aplikacije troše resursa na mobitelu, jer su mnoge puno zahtjevnije od mobilnih aplikacija.

Security in Unity

Unity 8 is going to change security on Linux forever. Currently different desktop applications are able to talk to each other and access whatever they want. That makes the spread of malware easy.

Cooke explains that Unity 8 and Mir will offer a much better way to lock down these applications so they can't talk to each other with wrappers around them. That will make it even more difficult for viruses to spread across a system because they won't be able to access anything outside the compromised application’s domain.

No more spyware

Richard M Stallman, the founder of FSF (Free Software Foundation) and EFF (Electronic Frontier Foundation) criticized Canonical when they started offering Amazon-affiliated advertisements for products in Dash.

That is going to change with Unity 8. Michael Hall, a Canonical developer, told me that the 'Home' scope that used to pull Amazon ads is gone and 'Applications' will become the default scope. The only online activity will be to search for apps available to download from the Click app store in addition to your locally installed apps.

Intervju sa Willom Cookeom iz Canonicala u vezi sa Unityjem 8 i Mirom, citirao sam dijelove koji će ljudima biti vjerovatno najzanimljiviji u vezi sigurnosti i online pretraživanja. Vjerovatno će custom scopeovi pretraživati custom sadržaj za koji su predviđeni ali onda je odgovornost na korisniku da li želi koristiti custom scopeove za pretraživanje raznih online servisa.

Unity 7 na Ubuntuu 15.04 će vjerovatno nuditi opciju da menu bar bude uvijek vidljiv na prozorima, ovo se također planira backportati za korisnike 14.04 LTS.
