Sailfish OS 2.0.1.11 released
Today marks the public availability of Sailfish OS 2.0.1.11 Taalojärvi. This release of Sailfish OS is considered to be primarily a bug fix release, however it also manages to pack a plethora of new features in as well. Let’s go over some highlights of this release!
New features
- Sharing options in Sailfish OS have been improved. If you are a user of Dropbox or OneDrive, you are now able to share your pictures directly to those accounts. Alongside improved sharing to select account types, Sailfish sharing options have also now been added into Android’s sharing menu!
- You can now see past communications you’ve had with a particular contact, by going to their contact card in the People’s app and clicking “Activity”. From some quick testing, this appears to provide information on calls and SMS.
- Toggling password text visibility in password entry fields has been made more consistent across the OS.
- You can now access settings relating to Events directly from the Events View’ shortcuts menu.
- Tablet users have gotten some love, with landscape support for Bluetooth pairing and file transfer dialogs.
