Yes and this is unfortunate, it's 8 months old software, months of
work is not distributed on this OS.
Despite of the fact that Kexi 2.9.x are all fix releases, with no
feature updates (one minor was in SQL), and Ubuntu had to offer such
updates, it does not.

This is why we need one or another way to give users ultimate option
to stay with their OS of choice and use fresh Kexi apps.
