Re: What is PR 1.2?
 

I suggest we merge this to the main PR 1.2 thread before it grows any further.

Re: What is PR 1.2?
 

Simply put necoicould, PR1.2 contains what is called "Qt" version 4.6, which all new software is being coded in. The problem that is started to occur is software development is grinding to a halt because version 4.6 only comes out when PR1.2 comes out. So essentially we cannot move forward with improving N900 software until it's released.

Hence why the anticipation for it's release is so large. There are already applications sitting in the development repository that you are unable to install because the N900 does not have Qt 4.6.

And imagine the angry users they'd get if they gave themselves plenty of time for the release and then released early! Wow! Actually, who would be made angry if a release came out before it was scheduled?

How does Amazon avoid this problem, by the way? Is software from Amazon not subject to unpredictability?

oh and while were at it...

"whats moonlighting?"

lets see who knows what movie that quote is from :)

Re: What is PR 1.2?
 

Yes, it the latest update for your N900
List of new and fixed items are around, at least 300 public bugs fixed as part of this update
Pre-integrated Qt is perhaps the most important :)
However lots of people have been watching for bugs they are interested in
Because it represents the hard work a lot of people have put into our N900
timing of the SDK transition was a little off so people got more eager for it.
However its allowed new innovations to come server side to support backwards compatibility for released packages.

update for devices should come asap :)

It`s something that can give you strokes or heart attacks if you wait for it for too long!

Sure, but the thing is that we are talking something that's in a bigger scale and device that people actually need. It will go more of testing.
You don't see any of the big phone manufacturers releasing their updates before it's done.

There was once a dream that was PR 1.2. You could only whisper it. Anything more than a whisper and it would vanish...
