Here are a few highlights on the release content: > - Landscape mode for Maps > - Split keyboard in landscape mode with a setting to disable it if > needed under Settings > System > Text input > - IMAP idle/push support for mail accounts > - Resolution independent icons > > In addition, Facebook account has been updated to use API version 2.2, > which has unfortunately lead to extreme reduction in functionality, i.e no > instant messaging nor contacts sync. Facebook has notified that the XMPP > chat API will no longer be available after April 30, 2015 > https://developers.facebook.com/docs/chat. > > We have now moved our codebase to use new API version, thus disabling > Facebook instant messaging capability on SailfishOS. It also limits the > contact synchronization to only provide contact info of people using the > same app; in our case this would mean that one could obtain contacts only > if his/her Facebook friends are also Jolla phone users. We agreed > internally that such a limited contact sync is pretty much useless to our > users and hence the contact sync has also be disabled. We have initiated > talks with Facebook in an attempt to find a way forward. > > Thats all for now, > bijjal > _______________________________________________ > SailfishOS.org Devel mailing list > To unsubscribe, please send a mail to devel-unsubscribe@lists. > sailfishos.org
