I don’t know which deadline for the release has been planned.

On Jolla Love Day 2 (which took place on May 20th) the release was planned as “within 1-2 months”, i.e. approximately by the end of July. The new release date is “we might consider releasing it sooner”,

@rainemak

With completely disabled camera, we could consider releasing the free version sooner.

but we don’t know sooner than what (certainly not sooner than the end of July ). As @eson pointed out, it probably means “sooner than later”

@rgp

I think it’s a case of being as soon as it’s ready. Jolla’s hands appear to be tied by the wait for Sony to release their blobs

Not really. It was said to be released with disabled camera “quickly” (which turns out to be an undefined variable ), and then (when Sony release fixed blobs) updated by Jolla to re-enable camera functionality.

@rainemak

preferred approach is to release the free version quickly rather than waiting for the new vendor blobs. This means that the first version comes with disabled camera service. Reason for disabling is that broken camera service prevents suspend causing battery draining. Once we have the new Android 14 vendor blobs containing needed changes to fix the camera service, we do a minor Sailfish OS update to re-enable camera

But it’s been 3 weeks from then and we haven’t seen or heard any news in this regard.
