Any improvements made in providing ability for Ubuntu users to upgrade to

<pre>Hi
I am sorry that ubuntu offers no such support for free software.
Upgrading the OS can be an option.
Or requesting support from ubuntu or someone who can develop a backport.
This can be requested on an ubuntu forum.

A modern way of distributing software may help us soon:

</span> Looks wonderful-- I am really
looking forward to the day when I'll be
able to upgrade kexi versions. The version
I have right now is so dysfunctional. Any
time the mouse crosses from the left side
of the screen into the left side of the
table, it makes the table jump to the top.
This is endlessly frustrating and a huge
waste of time. Say I am working in row
#750, the mouse moves across the left
border of the table and all of a sudden
the table jumps to row#1. If there is any
fix for this, please advise.<br>

My advice is to upgrade the OS or install
another copy in a virtual machine or
different computer. Regardless of
availability of the Snap packages, staying
with outdated software on LTS platforms
will be always a compromise. It's not a
problem for apps that do not evolve much
anymore but Kexi is actively developed and
users are hungry for features :)<br>

</span> There are so many software packages which update

Do you mean official packages from Canonical or do you

As for upgrading the OS, the Final Version of the new
Ubuntu LTS 16.04 is coming out on April 21. My current
LTS 14.04 is in all other regards functioning
wonderfully, and I would have no other reason to upgrade
given my own specific usage patterns and needs.
Upgrading would only be done for getting an updated
Kexi, and for me upgrading Ubuntu on a MacBook Pro is
not a small job. So this being the case, let me just ask
the following questions:<br>

Does this mean that 16.04 is going to install an old version of
kexi? <br>
<br>
Or are you saying you don't know what version of Kexi it will
install?<span class=""><br>

Now this is very exciting indeed. I will definitely try this-- right
now.<br>
<br>
Do I need to first uninstall my existing version of Kexi? And if so,
can I use the Ubuntu software manager to do the install?<br>
<br>
Or can I leave the current install in place and install 2.9.11
alongside it?<span class=""><br></span></div></blockquote><div><br><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:monospace,monospace;font-size:small">There can be only one version installed in one system, and the system would only propose installation is newer version is found.<br></div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255);color:rgb(0,0,0)" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000"><span class="">

1. By upgrading to 16.04 LTS, will I get the latest
finalized version of Kexi? Or if not, which version of
Kexi will be included in Ubuntu 16.04?
<div style="font-family:monospace,monospace;font-size:small;display:inline">

<br>
2. Will the version of Kexi which is included have the
following features:<br>
<br>
-Ability to add rows to the middle of a table which is
already in existence<br>
-Ability to add columns to the middle of a table which
is already in existence <br>
-Ability to change the name of a column in an existing
table. (Currently this requires going into the data
view, with the warning that making any changes will wipe
out all the data in the table)<br>
-Ability to move existing rows/columns in a table which
is already in existence<br>
