This week it is all about picking up the backlog and issues from the previous weeks. This would include
Releasing stable builds of v0.15 …this should be complete by now
To understand the differences between the /e/OS Build types check this guide

a3xelte , a5xelte , jactivelte , gts4lvwifi, hlte, s5neolte , a7y17lte , s3ve3gxx Released 23 Mar

Today the eCloud team had a significant achievement . The team rebooted one of the three storage servers to apply the latest kernel security patches…without stopping any of the client services ( OTA , nextcloud , mail…)

Some users were checking if the Easy installer can upgrade builds. The answer is as of today no. The Easy Installer will install the latest build of the same OS version on your device. Error message There is an internal problem with your device. Pl contact your manufacturer'
is showing up in some devices after a clean install on the a3 and a5 Samsung devices. A bug has been raised here. If a different device is also showing this message pl add to the comments in the bug on gitlab. Have updated the dev team about this.
Sorry to bother you @Manoj, but I am just a little confused. I am on an S9+, on A10 / eOS 0.13-2021-01-20xxx Devs with 5th Nov. Patches… should I see OTA update yet… ?
Later this year is the best answer I have at the moment. Do not have a definite date on completion. The list of issue connected to this can be tracked here
I have had a play with v4 and it really is not ready for everyday use. Specifically search doesn’t work: I searched for a specific app ‘playmoregolf’ which I know is in the Play Store and which v3 finds no problem. v4 displayed many pages of apps including some which had no relation to the search string but "did not* include the app I was looking for.
I tried a few more searches and the results appeared to be almost but not quite random.
I think we’ll be using v3 for quite a long time unfortunately
The problem is with geo-restricted apps. And you’ll need to ugrade because Anonymous logins no longer work with v3 - you have to use a Google account See this thread for details
Hello
I made the upgrade from 0.13-p to 0.15-q on A5(2016 - a5xelte) .
For that I used only TWRP, first to make a backup then to install the zip directly without any wipe.
The installation was very fast.
On reboot (and every reboot since) I get a message saying “an internal problem with your device has occurred. Please contact the manufacturer for more information.”
But other than that, everything seems to be working perfectly, without problems.
