[SailfishDevel] Jolla release plan for high level features - update10

Hi all, Here is a quick summary of our plans for this month. Our current focus is towards enabling update10 to be a stable OS update, therefore ironing out issues related to memory handling is the utmost priority right now. In addition to that, we expect to release the following improvements: * Alphanumeric support in device lock https://together.jolla.com/question/19890/alphabetic-device-lock/ * Option to keep display on while charging https://together.jolla.com/question/37616/keep-display-on-while-charging/ * Silence an incoming call by flipping the phone or by pressing the power key https://together.jolla.com/question/371/silence-incoming-calls-by-turning-the-phone-face-down/ * Snooze alarm by flipping the phone or by pressing power key https://together.jolla.com/question/8559/alarm-clock-alarm-unintuitive/ https://together.jolla.com/question/35555/bug-power-button-not-active-during-clock-alarm/ * Enable zram in kernel https://together.jolla.com/question/45055/suggestion-zram-swappiness-tweaks-more-performance/ * Edit a single occurence of a recurring event https://together.jolla.com/question/27716/enable-edit-of-single-occurrence-event-for-repeating-calendar-event/ * A way to set default reminder https://together.jolla.com/question/10327/feature-request-calendar-reminder-turned-on-by-default/ Our implementation: on creating a new calendar event with reminder, the reminder time set is saved and used as default for the subsequent new calendar event entries. * As protection against pocket calls, block touch input until proximity sensor is uncovered https://together.jolla.com/question/11374/bug-accidental-unlocks-and-pocket-dialing-feature-req-disable-touch-screen-and-pwrbtn-when-proximity-is-detected/ https://together.jolla.com/question/9615/preventing-pocket-dialing-to-emergency-service-112/ Since this also means any proximity sensor faults will render the device practically unusable, it will be possible to temporarily disable proximity sensor by triple power key press. * Device lock can be activated manually by double power key press https://together.jolla.com/question/4339/locking-the-device-right-away-without-waiting-for-the-lock-time/ Apart from finalizing update10, we will start the following activities: - start the work to update to GStreamer 1.x (latest upstream version 1.4.3) - start the work on platform UI scalability, beginning with making icons resolution independent and improving layout scaling Regards, Soumya
