It seems update 10 is still due for a November release - but does anyone know what we can expect ?

Here is what we know:

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

Option to keep display on while charging

Edit a single occurence of a recurring 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/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

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
