Jolla's Sailfish OS update 8 coming in July, update 9 in Q3

Jolla has just recently released the massive Sailfish OS update 6 and update 7 combo called Saapunki. It brought lots of new features, performance improvements and bug fixes. But if you think that the the Jolla team is now going to take a deserved vacation, you were wrong - the company is already working to bring Jolla users yet another update.

The Sailfish update 8 is scheduled to launch in July. These are the highlights from its change log:

• Ability to set synchronization schedule for different accounts separately
• Support filtering file selection by file type and uploading multiple files in Browser
• Ability to define email signature per account
• Ability to define sender name per account
• Save unsent messages as drafts when messages app is pushed to background
• Add shortcuts to webpages in the launcher area
• Stroke entry for writing in Chinese
• Improved HTML email viewer
• Improved tutorial app for beginners
• Display each Android app in its own window in the home screen
• Search word auto-completion in the Store client
• Enhanced layout for Google and generic mail accounts settings

The changelog is subject to change though - Jolla may not be able to complete all changes until July, or the opposite - it may succeed to sneak another feature.

If you are a developer, you can check the in-depth change log here.

Jolla also announced the next update 9 will come in late August or early September.

Thank you, Sail Hero, for the tip!
