Early access has been a very successful program in the Sailfish community since we launched it in 2015. It has helped us find certain bugs with the community's help before releasing each update to the masses, and has also greatly improved how our community impacts our software releasing speed and quality.

With the release of Sailfish 3, we are committed to continue this program.

The early access programme is still very much intended to be used by technically minded users who can handle potential problems.

Details about the early access update in short:

• The early release access is meant primarily for advanced users, and/or developers
• To sign up for the program there is a checkbox in the Jolla accounts profile page
• Sign up is required only once, it's then valid for all later releases
• If you choose to opt out from the early access program just uncheck the box in the account profile page
  • After that you will not receive future early access releases. Note that any installed early-access release will not be downgraded
  • The only way to downgrade from early access releases is to do a factory reset after removing the sign up check from your account profile
• Early access releases should be considered "stable". Issues found during that period will either be fixed, or added to "known issues" on the release notes
• Signing up for the early access releases will not void warranty

Happy updating!
