Sailfish SDK version 2.3

Today (Nov 6th) at 14:00 UTC we published new installers and repositories of the Sailfish SDK to all users. This SDK release is called 2.3 and it enables development for Sailfish OS release 3.2.0.

Important! If you are an Early Access SDK user, please read the following notes:

• The method of subscribing to Early Access updates changes with this release

• Users currently subsribed to Early Access updates (using the older method) must unsubscribe first!

  • This is done by removing the two *-ea repositories and enabling the default repositories again

  • After the initial upgrade finishes, it is possible to subscribe to Early Access updates using the new method described below

• Subscribing to EA updates is done by enabling the updates-ea repository. Please read the detailed Early Access SDK installation or update instructions

• Instructions for adding the early access repository into the SDK can be found from the Early Access SDK wiki page

If you have an older release of the SDK, you should see an update notification in the Sailfish IDE.

• During this update, you might get a warning about a failed rmKit operation while installing the update. It can be safely ignored.

The latest Emulator and Build Targets match the Sailfish OS release 3.2.0.12 (Torronsuo)

Emulators and Build Targets for several older Sailfish OS releases remain available.

A couple of things you should be aware of:

• Git is a prerequisite for the Sailfish SDK on Windows - you can get Git from https://git-scm.com/download/win, if it is not already installed on your workstation.

• As before, in this update the Build Engine, Emulator and Targets are reinstalled so you will lose all changes you may have made in those. However, if your application packaging is done correctly, rebuilding your projects should reinstall the packages you have been using.

• Any customization done to SDK (adding new package repositories, adding custom Targets, additional source paths) will be removed during the installation process so make your own backup of those before starting the update.

• If you import existing projects made with a previous version of the SDK, make sure to select the correct kit in the project configuration step. Both ARM and i486 kits are available.

• Package repository contents have been updated and consequently using a previous SDK version with these package repositories is not supported.

• For more information, please see the Application SDK known issues list.
