Re: PR 1.3 - User changelog
 

See Loginin's post above, it's still possible to swipe away from a bottom-up action, you just need to swipe higher.
If you swipe up slightly less, then you will still get the quick launch bar.
I'm not sure if it's really all that different from PR1.2, you never had to hold very long on PR1.2 to get the QL bar.
I don't have a PR1.2 device to compare it with right now...

That's never been possible, you always need to have an app in the foreground.

?

Ahh, okay, that seems to be the case.

I've always unlocked by quick "flicks" rather than a deliberate swipe. Back in PR1.2, not once did I manage to open the quick launch bar via the Lock Screen using the same "flicking" action.

I just tried swiping longer up the screen (past the middle) w/ PR1.3, and was able to unlock. So Nokia likely refined the quick launch bar gesture, probably removed the "hold" part.

Not sure if it's been mentioned, but I just noticed that Calender now keeps settings correctly, previously when "Week Starts On" was changed to prefered day, in my case it's Sunday, these changes would be reversed the following day. Seems to work properly now.

Re: PR 1.3 - User changelog
 

When making several changes to a system at the same time it's often easy to get an impression of something having changed that actually hasn't changed, especially if there is no changelog available at all. This leads to incorrect information spread around and complaints about bugs that don't really exist, have existed in previous versions or are caused by a different application - not the one that was actually updated. Since stock Harmattan applications are distributed as Debian packages and Debian packages usually contain a changelog, more information about PR1.3 changes is publicly available for those interested.

This page lists the changes between Harmattan PR1.2 and PR1.3 visible from the Debian packages. The package version differences were gathered by listing all installed packages on a vanilla PR1.2 device with dpkg -l, doing the same on a vanilla PR1.3 device and creating a diff between the two. To get more detailed information about the changes each changed package was then downloaded locally on the PR1.3 device with apt-get -d install --reinstall. Each package was extracted using dpkg-deb -x and the relevant changelog portions were gathered using dpkg-parsechangelog -s -l. Even though most packages do include a changelog some of them don't, so some changes are missing. It should also be noted that several binary packages can be built from a single source package, so even though the package version list shows, for example, a number of l10n-pack-* packages, all the packages and their changes originate from a single source package, l10n-harmattan.

Not all changelog entries are useful or informative. Many of them only refer to internal Nokia bug numbers. Most of them describe the bug briefly but without going into any detail. However, this should provide an insight into what kind of changes went into Harmattan PR1.3. They're bug fixes and there are plenty of them. It should also be noted that some of the fixes may be for bugs that did not exist in PR1.2 but were introduced during PR1.3 development.

Re: PR 1.3 - User changelog
 

Vesuri the effort you've put in to create the changelog is amazing...a big Thank You for taking your time out to once and for all solving everyone's queries...

Re: PR 1.3 - User changelog
 

Unfortunately some key packages didn't have a changelog at all so the combined changelog is not by any means complete. Also, the bug numbers by themselves are meaningless. I still hope this clarifies things a bit. PR1.3 is all about bug fixes. Some are language or use case specific - some fix annoyances for pretty much everyone.

Re: PR 1.3 - User changelog
 

When you say "vanilla PR1.2 and 1.3 N9's"... can you please be a little more specific?
Other than that absolutely awesome, this more-or-less renders the need for this thread redundant.

Thank-you!

A device flashed with 30.2012.07-1_PR_001 (final PR1.2 release) and a device flashed with 40.2012.21-3_PR_001 (final PR1.3 release) with no additional updates or applications installed.

Where? I don't see it.

Settings -> Apps -> Feeds -> Visible Articles and select between all or unread only.

I translated from finnish so might read something else.
