Release Content
The latest Emulator and Build Targets match the Sailfish OS release 4.5.0 “Struven ketju”
SDK IDE (Qt Creator)
- Bugs fixed:
- It is not clear that “Allow untrusted software” needs to be enabled to allow deployment from SDK
- Valgrind memcheck is unusable with emulator
- It is still necessary to install valgrind manually on device/emulator in order to use it from the IDE
- IDE does not open on Wayland session
SDK CLI (sfdk)
- Prefer .changes.run file over .changes
- Only inform about active snapshot when pool is used
- Omit snapshots in listing of build tools by default
- Apply patches with the help of VCS
- Optionally ignore local changes for ‘fix-version’
- Update patches conveniently (see
sfdk scrape –help) - Extract changelog from Git commit log (see
sfdk changelog –help) - sdk-register moved out of sight (use
sfdk tools registerinstead) - Bugs fixed:
- Warning message when compile_commands.json is unsupported (thank you deepbluev7)
- Unclear message regarding the need to use command from the top of a build tree appears
-
micfails to allocate a loop device under Docker-based build engine - sfdk complains about build target other than the configured one
- sfdk fails to prepare packages with sources in sub-subdir
-
sfdk build-shellfails if more than one RPM SPEC file is found - The
%make_buildmacro does not allow to skip the ‘make’ step or pass additional make arguments - incoherent-version-in-changelog diagnozed for packages missing release numbers in changelog
- incoherent-version-in-changelog diagnozed for packages with .changes file when built with SDK
- sdk-assistant fails too late when no tooling is available for target installation
- If ~/.scratchbox2/config is missing sdk-assistant looses targets
- sfdk looses session-scope configuration occasionally
- Just one command line switch is completed for the
sfdk tools listcommand - Reverse path mapping is not disabled for interactive
sfdk build-shelluse
Emulator
- Update bluez to bluez5
- Bug fixed:
- Setting emulator window size doesn’t work on VirtualBox 7.0

- Built-in templates use
%make_buildmacro - python2 removed from patterns-sailfish-devel-full
- QtWebkit dropped
- Allow http proxy use under toolings and targets
-
gitwas updated to version 2.34.5 - nproc limits increased
- Bugs fixed:
- SDK gets stuck initializing target on Fedora
- SSU does not use libproxy for network proxy support
- Installing patterns-sailfish-devel-full is broken
- GNU Autotools are not preinstalled in build targets as they are on OBS
- Cannot install latest nightly build toolings
- SDK fails to build packages with build-time dependency on GNU tools (instead of Busybox)
- /usr/lib/locale/locale-archive handling is not fool proof
- Build targets snapshot resets with each build due to implicit SSU credentials update
-
git-change-logextracts no entries for 0.14+git1 revision of the ‘mic’ package - Git: Filter ignored when “–invert-grep” option is used
