Hi,
We are happy to announce the Fairphone 1.8 release candidate.
Here is a short version of the release notes: We have a new Fairphone home screen and launcher (KitKat style), we updated Fairphone updater, we removed some crashes happening in the Camera app and we fixed problem with FUSE storage after reboot (ringtones configurations where gone if the ringtone was stored on the storage). While EPO download was fix in the previous release we now disabled it by default to decrease time to first fix when connectivity is present.
We integrated the following Security fixes for CVE-2014-6041 and CVE-2013-6272. Also the following Android security fixes have been integrated: ANDROID-10227498, ANDROID-10148349, ANDROID-9950697, ANDROID-9695860, ANDROID-8617715, ANDROID-8476102 and ANDROID-8219321.
Bluetooth (testing needed):
We also where able to fix a number of Bluetooth related crashes and worked on improved support but we however where not able to test the latest changes so feedback in this area is very welcome.
warning:
Be aware of an introduced backwards compatibility problem in the MediaPlayer's sqlite database. If you downgrade you will need to wipe the database.
