We’re happy to announce the availability of the next Sailfish OS software update. It was first made available as an early release to more advanced users who have opted in to be among the first to try it. This helps us to improve quality by identifying critical issues, which only show up in certain environments or device setups before rolling the update out to the larger crowd. It also benefits our developers by providing means to test their apps against newer releases. Now it is available for everyone. Read more about our new software release procedure, and how be part of it here.
What’s new in this update?
In this software update we have worked a lot on fixing some security vulnerabilities, and implementing a few really cool improvements and features to the OS. Highlights include:
- A renewed web browser user interface. New toolbar for browsing, improved tab view, and search-on-page functionality. Read more here.
- New SailfishOS Weather application from Foreca available in the Jolla Store. Weather information is now integrated to the Events View. Read more here.
- Possibility to customize the main colors of your favorite ambiences. Read more here.
- Auto detection of email authentication capabilities added for generic email accounts.
We have also added a new notification if your disk space is getting insufficient (below 500MB) when going for a software update. Remember that you can always use the memory card to store data on your phone.
