1. [feature] UI: I am too much used to the "glance screen" feature of Nokia N9 and my current Nokia Lumia device. Glance screen is the information displayed on the device's screen when device is idle. For example it shows the time and notifications so that you don't have to wake up the phone to look at the time or see the notifications.

2. [feature] Messaging: The next update (update 8) should have automatic saved drafts for messages. They are saved when you switch pages or close the app, and will be there when you go back to that conversation. That works for new messages too.
3. [feature] Calendar: Cover should show future appointments
4. [improvement] Email app: Deleting emails does not update unread counter
5. [improvement] Contacts: Company name as main item in contacts
6. [bug] front camera: orientation in Android apps
7. [bug] Pulley menu: fading doesn't always work
8. [bug] Browser: using only number as search keyword doesn't work
9. [bug] App development: ComboBox with >6 menuItems does not trigger onClicked
10. [Bug] Alarm clock: Default clock alarm tone played when device is set to silent
11. [Bug] Email app: long link in email, mail-app scaling all text unreadable
12. [missing "+" sign] Recipient selection when composing MMS from Gallery

The release date of the next system update is yet unknown.

You can already try the Glance Screen action seen on the video if you have enabled the Developer mode on your Jolla. Use the terminal, enter root mode with command devel-su [enter] and your password [enter]. The rest you write is tweeted by Thomas, thanks for sharing!

@nsuffys @JujuDHighlands Try "pkcon install mce-tools" as root, then "mcetool --set-low-power-mode=enabled". Unsupported, incomplete, YMMV.
