Re: Speculation about the next firmware (PR1.2) and its release date
 

looks like this feature is going to be included in pr1.2 - https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5421

Don't get too many hope about PR1.2 coming tomorrow...

Andre Klapper, who manages bugs.maemo.org, has already stated on this same thread at 15th March that the community hasn't yet received a test version to debug by that time, and there should be about 2 weeks between Nokia releasing this testing version and the actual deployment for general users, depending on the number of last minutes bugs to fix it.

Nokia released PR1.2 version of the SDK.

This, I can only think as a good sign that it might come sooner than later :)

Already upgraded my SDK and now ready for the firmware. Bring it on Nokia.

Re: Speculation about the next firmware (PR1.2) and its release date
 

Please note that the release is marked as EA ( "early access" ) and is not the final version of the 1.2 SDK.

That means new version will be 10.2010.09-3.

Which will be a 7 week difference from previous version (which was released 16 Feb).
Giving us a timeline of second week of April for PR 1.2.

Correct?

Re: Speculation about the next firmware (PR1.2) and its release date
 

This guess, although rational, can't be a fixed rule... The release of a new firmware can be influenced for a lot of reasons not related to the technical difficulties, like marketing, political, bureaucracy or even to wait for including a new functionality which is not ready yet (like Ovi Suite integration or Ovi Maps voice navigation)...

I understand Nokia has business reasons to not reveal details about its operation, but I am hoping that someday they decide to give the community more information about its roadmap, even without dates.

Re: Speculation about the next firmware (PR1.2) and its release date
 

I think I don't like this release :(

If I read correctly they gonna remove:
1) gnuchess
2) maemoblocks

;)

**** this game! I've played like 20 games, and get my arse seriously kicked every time on level easy...

Re: Speculation about the next firmware (PR1.2) and its release date
 

Although good thing:

microb-engine from 20090612-49+0m5 -> 20091230-1.9.2-6.8+0m5

Looks like a half year difference.

Re: Speculation about the next firmware (PR1.2) and its release date
 

This thread is getting so old and tired. Can I make a suggestion?

Start a thread called something like "The FACTS about Maemo/MeeGo/Qt" and fill it with what we know. Make it a sticky so everyone will see it first, lock it down so it doesn't become yet another troll feast, and hopefully it will reduce some of the FUD traffic that is threatening to drown this site.

Any noobs posting a "should I buy / wait, what is meego, will PR1.2 allow me to run iPhone apps" type of questions should just be pointed to that thread with the known FACTS and told everything else is speculation - then hopefully their threads will die a little quicker.

Alternatively, I'll just start a "Speculation about PR1.3" thread now, and get in early.

*sigh*
