I started looking into that; in theory it is very simple but there are some practical gotchas in it (as always in SWD )
  • basically what is required is just a login/logout controller that mediates which user is granted session
  • what makes it more touchy is that some systemd actions and targets are dependent on "nemo" user, those need to be identfied and corrected

No it doesn't really matter

Here the explanation by Aard:

We're currently phasing out the uXX naming on top of the version numbers. To identify an upgrade, use the first 3 digits of the version number (the 4th one is the build count). As an example:

1.1.2.10 could be the initial release of 1.1.2 (u11)
1.1.2.12 could be a hotfix for 1.1.2

We'll also adjust some other terms, aligning a bit more with terminology used in Debian and other projects, starting with 1.1.2:

upgrade instead of update
update instead of hotfix

Yes, hope not. But it's March now and seeing that it has taken over 2 months to release latest upgrades\dates so... My bet is that we'll see upgrade12 in May and SF 2.0 some time late fall.

Well, if those are your expectations, I hope you will not be deluded.

Seriously, the roadmap says update 13 will have a toolchain switch, which means all packages will be rebuilt with the new compiler anyway, so, given that everything will need to be downloaded again, it makes sense to do the switch to the new "2.0" ui at the same time. It is not a requirement, but it would avoid some extra pain for thwe users. I suppose they are planning the "2.0" thing for the tablet, so say around may june?

That leaves space for an interim release, and I do not expect we will see a lot of stuff there. They might release a few features anyway, but nothing major.

But hopefully, for this next fall, things will be stable again... B)

It's exactly what Apple did with iOS since birth.

Personally, I don't see why you can't have both. Clicking the settings option in your app should open the same settings dialaog as from inside the system app settings page.

The problem at the moment it's you can't create the system settings connection.

Absolutely. It's such a waste of space.

As I said earlier, Jolla have already suggested June as the date for Sailfish 2 on the phone.

I watched a video of 2.0 on the phone and I'm not impressed... Everything is changed. I especially dislike that everything moves horizontally now instead of vertically. I never use my phone or ipad in landscape mode.

I've somewhere Carol Shen said the UI on the phone at the MWC is just a development version and doesn't reflect the definitive UI of Sailfish 2.

Noo, what are you talking about? SailfishOS 2.0 and Tablet is ready already and won't be changed in any bit. You forced to wait some months just because Jolla decided so., and all things what you see at MWC15 are final.
