Hey Everyone,

Small update this month. I just want to remind you all on two big changes for Convenience Images. 1) The Android image will be updating from Java 8 to Java 11 on August 17th. 2) The default Ubuntu version of Convenience Images will switch to Ubuntu 20.04 starting in September. Both of these changes we’re discussed in more detail in last month’s post.

Many people have requested -browsers variant support for our next-gen Convenience Images. We heard you and that is now our top priority. We’ll provide more information when we can. Stay tuned to the forum and the Ecosystem/Images category.

Respectfully,

Ricardo N Feliciano (FelicianoTech)
