[SailfishDevel] Sailfish OS SDK October update available now for download

[Jarkko Lehtoranta]

Hello again,

Today (October 27) at 13:00 UTC we have published new installers for the 
first Beta version of the Sailfish OS SDK.

The installers for this opt-in release of the SDK are available at 
http://www.sailfishos.org.

SDK content has been updated to match Jolla Release 1.1.0.38. As the 
1.1.0.38 is an opt-in release, we decided to make this version of the 
SDK available only as an active download. It means you will *not* get an 
update notification of this SDK version. Please see below for detailed 
information of the changes.

Important things you should be aware of:
- Most of our users still use the Jolla Release 1.0.8.21 (Update 8), so 
please use this SDK release primarily to fix applications not working in 
Update 9 and feature testing.
- Both versions of the SDK (1410 and 1407) cannot be installed as a same 
user at the same time.
- Apps that are built using this SDK release will first be tested 
against Update 8 in the Harbour. In case a test fails, they will be 
separately checked against Update 9, which will cause a delay in the 
approval process (~ 1 Week). If you have any questions, don't hesitate 
to contact developer-care at jolla.com.
- Targets meant for this SDK release are marked with "1410/U9" in the 
pre-configured targets list. These targets will not work with older SDK 
releases.

A couple of other things you should be aware of:
- 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 
Sailfish OS 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.
- Supported host platforms can be found from: 
https://sailfishos.org/beta_qt5_sdk_release_notes.html.

- For more information, please see the SDK Beta-Qt5 known issues list 
at: https://sailfishos.org/wiki/SDK_Beta_Qt5_Known_Issues.

Upgrading Qt Creator to version 3 makes this release the first Beta 
version of the SDK. Qt Creator 3 is the current live version of the 
upstream Qt Creator and is thus a good platform for improving and 
creating new features for the Sailfish OS SDK.

SDK IDE (Qt Creator)
- Qt Creator version updated to 3.1.2
- Fix several issues with starting and stopping the virtual machines
- Fix stopping GDB debugging session in Windows

SDK Build engine:
- Build targets refreshed to Jolla release 1.1.0.38 level.
