Så er den meget længe ventede systemopdatering for Jolla’en sendt afsted.
Sailfish Browser kan for eksempel nu fremvise omverdenen i landskabstilstand. NFC lækken er fikset. Brugergrænsefladen har fået med en polerklud, kamerahåndteringen er blevet lidt bedre (blandt andet digitalt zoom er ankommet) og Alien Dalvik integrationen er blevet en tand bedre.
Tiden er knap her til aften, så dem der er interesseret i de nærmere detaljer, kan kigge Jollas Release Notes igennem, de ses herunder.

Fetch the update
Important:You need a working Jolla account configured on your device in order to receive update notifications. If you are unable to successfully configure the account, please visit account.jolla.com and try to reset your password.
If your Jolla is connected to WLAN network, an OS update notification should pop up shortly. If you just can’t wait, you can manually trigger an OS update check as follows:
- Open Settings app
- Go to System Settings -> About Product
- Pull down the pulley menu and select ‘Check for update’
- Once an OS update notification is received, tap on it and follow the instructions.
Do not reboot the device while the OS update installation is in progress. The process takes up to 10 minutes. During the update, the device screen might blank out. You may awaken the display by a short press on the power key to monitor the progress. When the upgrade has completed successfully, you will see the LED light up red before the device restarts.
