The full transition to Sailfish OS 2.0 is here!

The new Sailfish OS update, Saimaa (named after the largest lake in Finland), is now available for all Jolla users! Less than 2 weeks ago, this update was made available as an early access release for more advanced users. If you’re interested in joining this group, read more here.

This update Saimaa, with version number 2.0.0, completes the transition to Sailfish OS 2.0. Our previous release 1.1.9 (Eineheminlampi) introduced the reborn Sailfish OS user interface to you. Thank you for your valuable feedback on the 1.1.9 release, which helps us bring many improved features and fixes in this 2.0.0 release, and completes the progression towards Sailfish OS 2.0. Our work is by no means done, and we’ll continue to provide regular updates to you, our dear users.

Please note that before you can upgrade from 1.1.9 to 2.0.0, you will receive an update notification to install 1.1.9.30 as an intermediate step to improve reliability of the update process.
