Jolla outs Tahkalampi - update 8 for its Sailfish OS

Last month Jolla released the major Saapunki firmware, which combined the planned 6 and 7 updates into one. The company also promised to bring update 8 in July and it is now rolling out, just as scheduled.

The new update 8 for the Sailfish OS is called Tahkalampi and improves the user experience with Android apps among other things. Here is the official changelog:

• Easily switch between open Android apps in the homescreen by tapping on their respective active covers i.e they are no longer grouped into one cover (experimental)
• Add shortcuts to webpages in the app launcher area
• Set separate synchronization schedules per mail account
• Upload multiple files via Browser and be able to filter files by file type during file selection
• Define email signature and sender name per account
• Save unsent messages as drafts when messages app is pushed to background
• Search word auto-completion in Jolla Store
• Use stroke input method for writing in Chinese
• Define an end date when creating/modifying recurring calendar events

You can find more highlights and improvements over at the official page for the Tahkalampi update.

Jolla has previously announced that the next update 9 will come in late August or early September.
