Bundyo | # 1 | 2020-09-29, 17:35 | Report

A new early access is available.

Release notes:
https://forum.sailfishos.org/t/relea...uri-3-4-0/2258

Changelog:
https://forum.sailfishos.org/t/chang...uri-3-4-0/2214.

There are bugs, so make sure to check the threads about them in the new Sailfish OS Forums.

Also make sure to update Aliendalvik control to 9.3+ beforehand. (and remove Coderus overlay apps for the moment, as they crash the device with 3.4 (and Phonehook))

Some highlights from the changelog:

Multi-user support, including guests
Huge update to Alien Dalvik, including enabling telephony and SMS sending from inside it. Developer page is also back
Sailfish Browser is now based on ESR 52. There are numerous updates to the embedlite components engine, probably for better integration with SFOS.
Email now uses Gecko WebView to show mails
Enable OpenGL ES 3.0, looks Qt5 now uses it
Added some kind of Firejail support
Added Rust to the SDK

According to the forums, there are numerous bugs reported after upgrading, so if your phone is a main driver, you might want to hold off for now.

Tell me if I'm missing something.

Interesting. I wonder whether that will allow placing calls via Google Voice now?

Uh-oh. That sounds like it will break the "Silica Email" patch and we will be stuck with blinding white email backgrounds again.

Phonehook and other overlay apps causing "brick"/black screen/etc. Update carefully.

Check all bug reports at https://forum.sailfishos.org/latest before update

A big WTF to Jolla

Uh, oh!

Clear words.

Seems I am going to need to stay another few months on 3.2.1.xx?
There are really a lot of bug reports popping up on FSO ...

Had to reconfigure wifi and vpn connection, and reinstall Storeman, otherwise it looks like everything is working.

What keeps you from 3.3.0.16?
Still not personally "Approved" for which reasons?
I am running it since EA release without trouble tbh.

On my various X and community devices since 3.3 GPS for sailfish os completely stopped working. Only when under Android with Gservice configured.

GPS lock has gotten really slow for me in 3.3 X, but not completely non-functional. But Kuri and Laufhelden seem to crash after a while for a reason that I have yet to analyze. But I too often do take a very long time to do a version update.

Oh, my impression was this effects all sfos versions since the culprit seems to be mozilla nerfing the MLS (Mozilla location services) API Qouta?
Is GPS still working with no regression on pre 3.3?

For the Pro¹ 3.3 sfos i see it takes 5-10 minutes to get first fix which i work around by having GPSinfo app running in the background if i plan to navigate and need fast fixes.
