Jolla is planning to release Sailfish OS update 10 during November, bringing us for example a long waited answer for accidental phone calls. Proximity sensor must be revealed before the phone responses to touch - and if it's not working for some reason, quickly triple pressing the power button is a new workaround. What's more:

UPDATE December 2, 2014:
Jolla has shared that this update is delayed. They are working hard to bring it to the customers by Christmas, but further delays are more than probable
In the worst case this means that the gap between regular updates might be as long as almost 6 months - 1.0.8 was released on July 19th, and if we don't count the opt-in update, shared for developers / early adopters, the next one might be released as late as on January 2015. Read this post at together.jolla.com for more information
In the best case, we'll receive the update within couple of weeks - but I'm expecting we'll have new information on this within a week. Let's be patient, a polished update is always better than one pushed out too early.
Our latest giveaway: I've already asked if Jolla could provide the name of the update in advance for us to be able to deliver the price for Christmas - I got an answer, we'll have Sailfish OS Vaarainjärvi.
However, this time we have three persons who have guessed that right in the name guessing contest, so the winner can't be announced before we have the release numbers as well. Good luck for those three, and good luck for all the others on the next round!
Original post, November 6, 2014:
This upcoming update includes all the features of the opt-in update 9, and at least, but not necessarily, the following (meaning that these is planned). Join discussing these updates at TJC, Hot questions of the month. Quoted from Sailfish OS developer mailing list:

Hi all,
Here is a quick summary of our plans for this month. Our current focus is towards enabling update10 to be a stable OS update, therefore ironing out issues related to memory handling is the utmost priority right now. In addition to that, we expect to release the following improvements:
Apart from finalizing update10, we will start the following activities:

Hi all,
Here is a quick summary of our plans for this month. Our current focus is towards enabling update10 to be a stable OS update, therefore ironing out issues related to memory handling is the utmost priority right now. In addition to that, we expect to release the following improvements:
- Alphanumeric support in device lock
https://together.jolla.com/question/19890/alphabetic-device-lock/ - Option to keep display on while charging
https://together.jolla.com/question/37616/keep-display-on-while-charging/ - Silence an incoming call by flipping the phone or by pressing the
power key
https://together.jolla.com/question/371/silence-incoming-calls-by-turning-the-phone-face-down/ - Snooze alarm by flipping the phone or by pressing power key
https://together.jolla.com/question/8559/alarm-clock-alarm-unintuitive/
https://together.jolla.com/question/35555/bug-power-button-not-active-during-clock-alarm/ - Enable zram in kernel
https://together.jolla.com/question/45055/suggestion-zram-swappiness-tweaks-more-performance/ - Edit a single occurence of a recurring event
https://together.jolla.com/question/27716/enable-edit-of-single-occurrence-event-for-repeating-calendar-event/ - A way to set default reminder
https://together.jolla.com/question/10327/feature-request-calendar-reminder-turned-on-by-default/
Our implementation: on creating a new calendar event with reminder, the reminder time set is saved and used as default for the subsequent new calendar event entries. - As protection against pocket calls, block touch input until proximity
sensor is uncovered
https://together.jolla.com/question/11374/bug-accidental-unlocks-and-pocket-dialing-feature-req-disable-touch-screen-and-pwrbtn-when-proximity-is-detected/
https://together.jolla.com/question/9615/preventing-pocket-dialing-to-emergency-service-112/
Since this also means any proximity sensor faults will render the device practically unusable, it will be possible to temporarily disable proximity sensor by triple power key press. - Device lock can be activated manually by double power key press
https://together.jolla.com/question/4339/locking-the-device-right-away-without-waiting-for-the-lock-time/
- start the work to update to GStreamer 1.x (latest upstream version 1.4.3)
- start the work on platform UI scalability, beginning with making icons resolution independent and improving layout scaling
