[Release notes] Suomenlinna 4.3.0

Announcements
#273

Using the %dist macro in the Release tag for rpm.spec files might solve some confusion. For example, current packages would have an 1.sfos4.3 Release tag, while these packages would have an 1.sfos3.2 Release tag. The updater could filter those packages out and not show old 1.sfosx.x packages and delete those silently.

Store packages could be built with 1.harbour4.3, while openrepos could have a 1.repos4.3 suffix. This would make it easier to do maintenance on older packages (deleting) or inform people that certain packages seem to go unmaintained.

I am slightly surprised this isn’t part of rpmbuild in SFOS, but I assume nobody saw the merits in this rpm versioning.

Edit: should I make some sort of proposal for this, like in a new topic, or in the meeting?

AFAIR, Jolla’s SSU does not support repository pinning (i.e., %dist tags) and repository priorities (all are at 99).
It was invented by Nokia in the early 2000s and was state of the art back then.

new in 4.3, MMS messages that fail to download stay in “Waiting” forever when retrying.
if you cancel the waiting, and then hit retry, it stays in waiting forever.
this is reproducible 100% of the time.

note that MMS works fine for me, as long as i have the correct network settings the FIRST time i send/receive the message. (which i rarely do, since i have to disable wifi to send/receive MMS)

@teleshoes, please create a proper bug report (at Bug Reports - Sailfish OS Forum) by filling out the form there and reusing (copy&paste) your bug description from here (which is fine, IMHO), or Jolla will likely not denote this in their internal bug tracker.

Since the update:

  1. When hitting the paper clip in an Android app, it takes 7 seconds until images/videos are shown for selection.
  2. Screen regularly hangs while typing. I can keep typing multiple words on the frozen screen and my input will be processed many seconds later.
  3. Noticeable general delay when navigating SF-native apps/sections (eg Settings).
  4. AdvancedCam not working

This is Xperia X with 4.3.0.12.
(Didn’t read this entire thread - too long)

@hhead, please create three different, proper bug reports (at Bug Reports - Sailfish OS Forum) by filling out the form there and reusing (copy&paste) your bug descriptions 1, 2 and 3 from here (you might extend them a bit), or Jolla will likely not denote this in their internal bug tracker.

  1. AdvancedCam not working

Please read its description and use a current version of Advanced Camera from SailfishOS:Chum.

I also did ignore the warning to remove the ofono-alien-binder-plugin package. And the upgrade did work without any errors, warnings.

Is there something that might make the browser not prompt for passwords storage in a website?

Ie on my banking site i enter the passwords but i don’t get the option to store them.

On an XA2 dual SIM:

I got asked to remove git-minimal and gittin, but no other packages.

Logged in over USB as developer, checked the presence of the apps

Installed   	gittin-0.1.3-1.3.1.jolla.armv7hl (installed)                	A library to hangle Git repositories

and removed with

[nemo@Sailfish ~]$ devel-su pkcon remove git-minimal

supplying the developer password when prompted. This also removed gittin automatically.

Upgrade went without further problems.

glad it worked for you.

i just ignored the errors and upgraded regardless - figured it wasn’t my job to interpret developer gobbledygook…

#286

After reading your comment I was somewhat worried, but then I decided to simply ignore those conflict warnings and continue the update:
The first time it failed, but the phone booted just like normal into 4.2.
Tried a second time: The updater showed an even longer list of conflicts, but worked flawless and updated the phone to 4.3.0. Haven’t tested in depth, but so far everything seems to be just fine.

Hi, I got the same problem during update. When system started downloading update to SailfishOS 4.3 I received a message that I have to remove WebPirate and ofono-alien-binder-plugin. I removed WebPirate but not ofono-alien-binder-plugin.
Now, after update finished downloading I have a really long list of packages, that looks like all packages installed in the system.
I downloaded 4.3 update directly after updating from 4.1 to 4.2. The only change in ssu config I made was setting the password.

I successfully install paid Jolla OS 4.3 Version for the Sony Xperia X with the g7-patch (https://github.com/g7/sailfishx-patcher-f5321 on a Sony Xperia X Compact Device.

I know this is officially not supported by Jolla, this Unit will be my “Spare and Play” Smartphon, because i´m heavily interested in alternative Operation Systems. My Daily Driver is a Sony XZ1 Compact (nearly same dimensions like the x Compact) with Lineage 18.1 (Android 11 base) without GApps (don´t need it). Sadly there is no patch for the XZ1 Compact, so i go for the X Compact as spare and emergency Smartphone.

I have the following issue (not sure if it was present before this release):

In the Gallery app, I cannot delete a picture: trying to do so will show the usual progress bar, but the image does not disappear after that. It is not deleted either.

I also just got an issue where sending an image via a MMS didn’t work (even with multiple retries).

I use a Sony Xperia XA2.

I only noticed 4.3.0.15 today, and the update went just fine on my XA10II

Great to see security updates are pushed between major releases, please make this a habit!

I pressed the button on my Xperia X. I didn’t watch it closely but it seemed to go just fine and while I am not using it for calls at the moment, other stuff seems to be unchanged
