What happened at Aptivi?
During this week, sets of events have happened at Aptivi, and we have chosen to summarize some of the most intriguing events that we have covered here at Aptivi Blog and Aptivi Newsroom, as well as other Aptivi updates in case they happen.
The rollout of One UI 8.5 has almost come into completion, with so many eligible Galaxy devices receiving the One UI 8.5 update, which brought awesome features and refined graphical user interface (GUI) intended to give you a fluent design language that makes your Galaxy device more attractive. Meanwhile, Samsung continued the rollout of the June 2026 security patch for flagship devices, such as the Galaxy S26 and the S25 series, and updated the Galaxy S26 series to the third beta version of One UI 9.
Galaxy smartwatches have also seen an update, where the Galaxy Watch4, Watch5, Watch6, and Watch FE have all seen the May 2026 security patch that was rolled out to Korea first, followed by the global rollout that will happen next week.
When it comes to computers, an announcement about Ubuntu 25.10 Questing Quokka nearing end of support has been made, ensuring that users who are still using this short-term version of Ubuntu will need to upgrade to a more recent version, which is 26.04 LTS. Meanwhile, Linux 7.1 was released earlier than expected, and the whole old-school Ubuntu Forums got archived!
FreeBSD 15.1 was released this week, and we have studied our projects and their compatibility with this version of FreeBSD. This experiment was a success, so we decided to add support for this version of FreeBSD with our projects. Meanwhile, the FreeBSD security team announced that the end of support for FreeBSD 14.3 is coming closer, with June 30th being the last day that this version will receive security updates.
In addition to that, the following other articles were posted for you to read:

Summary
This week, Aptivi redesigned the API documentation sites for all the projects that we are working on, while the Newsroom has received a similar redesign. This plan was done in extension to the original plan of rebranding the Aptivi Blog due to successful execution. We have also released BassBoom v1.0.1 to bring the visualizer feature to the CLI, while opening the very backbone of it for custom applications to be able to implement their own music visualizer.
In the other hand, Samsung rolled out the June 2026 security patch for many devices, while the One UI 8.5 rollout was almost finished, with One UI 9.0 Beta 3 being released for the Galaxy S26 to bring bug fixes and other improvements. Meanwhile, FreeBSD 15.1 was released, and the end of life for Ubuntu 25.10 Questing Quokka was announced to remind people to update to the latest supported release.
So, thank you to whoever read our posts, liked them, and commented on them, whether it’s on the Fediverse or not. We appreciate your interaction, engagement, and support, and this motivates us into going ahead moving forward.
