Sailfish Naamankajärvi ?
Another update named by a lake. There are at least 4 lakes named "Naamankajärvi" in Finland, located at Pudasjärvi, Kuusamo, Suomussalmi and Oulu. All of them are quite small, the biggest one laying at Kuusamo, 7 565 km2.Jolla has stated that they are using lakes of Finland in naming updates of Sailfish OS. There are 187 888 lakes in Finland, including the small ones, so we might have more than few updates coming. Looking at the size of the biggest Naamankajärvi, we could speculate that this is not as big update than the previous one - but I'm still holding my breath for Sailfish Saimaa!

I wonder if Jolla crew is playing darts with the map of Finland. Maybe the first dart hitting a lake gives the name for the next update. :)
ReplyDeleteAt least they come in alphabetical order, like Android version names, (...Honeycomb, ICS, Jellybean, Kitkat)
ReplyDeleteSeems that they are also from the beginning of the alphabet order. Next assuming to start with O, and there is some tricky ones http://www.jarviwiki.fi/w/index.php?title=Luokka:Nimi&from=O
Oh, thanks :) Well, Saimaa is covered with ice anyway until we reach the S. Let's take a guess from the O then... Not "Sailfish Omenajärvi" at least (Apple lake). Maybe we'll get "Sailfish Ojennusjärvi" (Correction lake), which would be an all-bugs-fixed update :)
DeleteKimmo's link for others to take a guess: Finnish lakes, letter O
After a short check, this is a great update. Lot's of improvements, only few backsteps. I suppose it might be worth another article?
ReplyDeletemy jolla crushed after the update.
ReplyDelete:-(
You're not the only one... It might be related to some unsupported app(s). You can search "1.0.3.8" at Jolla Together for help :/
DeleteIs there a way of getting a changelog including updates on all the packages ?
ReplyDeleteConnman doesn't work with me and it's very handicapping (basically, my smartphone is just a phone: after the first restart of the connman service, my only option for Internet connexion becomes the USB cable in developer mode). Anyway: I need a way to check on updates of Connman.
