Sailfish OS 2.1.2.x is expected to be released on October 11, 2017. Why we can guess this date already, is because this version is supposed to be released also for Sony Xperia X as a separately sold software image, and the date of this release was shared on last week already.

It has happened to some users that the update process gets stuck on optimization phase. This might happen either if you haven't got enough of free storage (3.7GB recommended) or your memory allocation space is full (less than 90% recommended). You can check your memory allocation using Terminal (app enabled when developer mode is activated) and running command

Sailfish OS Jämsänjoki - the name





We've kept you up to date with the Finnish lakes and rivers which Jolla is using in their release naming. Jämsänjoki is a river connecting lake Kankarinvesi to lake Päijänne, streaming through city of Jämsä in Southern Finland. The etymology of the name has three different stories:

It might be in Russian language where "Jaem" was used to describe local people, and the name for the river might have followed as "Jaems-å" during Finland's time under Sweden. It might be in Lapland word "jámeš" which means a dead person. It might be in the name of the bigger lake where it currently flows. Lake "Päijänne" has been called earlier as "Pääjäämä" which translates to "main jem", again jem, or "jäämä", used for describing the people living by that lake.

As we don't know which one is the correct etymology, this leads to a problem with the translation as well. Just picking an easy one, we might call this update as

"The river of the jem's"
