[Meego-handset] MeeGo 1.2 Community Edition for N900 "Summer release" is coming..

[jukka.eklund at nokia.com]

Hi again,

There are good news and bad news.. 

Good news is that we made it! Go and grab the release here: http://wiki.meego.com/N900.
We set our targets as "Faster and fancier. More applications, better settings." and we delivered on that. You can see the improvement eg. in application start-up time and overall performance. There are more applications carefully selected, for example some of the new MeeGo UX-based ones, new cool Terminal, Package management, IRC, and MeeGo Extras apps client. And a new game :)

However, as always with Murphy, there were some last minute issues. I noticed the battery running out faster, comparing to the earlier images that I have seen working over a weekend (yes, really!). We didn't manage to close all of the "blocker" bugs we selected. As always you can find all the bugs and metrics in http://wiki.meego.com/ARM/N900/Status.

So, we will make a fix release next week that will address some of the issues and also include some things we missed now. One exciting such thing are the Qt Quick components that are now in the open source, and I hope we can include those already next week. And let's see what else we come up with, and of course you are more than welcome to help! And there is the prospect of supporting those new devices from Nokia as well.

I want to thank again our great community, this is something you are doing for yourself - and it is just great to see the energy and fun people are having with MeeGo, N900 and ARM.

Jukka
