Hey everyone! we have a few announcements today!
We know a lot of people have been asking when the sealed PineTime would return. Today we are happy share that the new batch of sealed PineTime's are now available on PineStore's website.
https://pine64.com/product/pinetime-smartwatch-sealed/
As for the PineTime Pro, lots of initial bring-up work is being done by JF and Gamiee. Once the current prototype is finalized, PineStore will start a pilot batch for pioneer developers. Stay tuned!
And finally for those who have been waiting for the PineVoice (formally PineVox) Home Assistant speaker, we have been given a PineStore launch date of the 15th of June!
Please note though that the firmware shipping on the PineVoice is still in beta as some further improvements can be made. Firmware improvements will come in time.
Annnnd that's about it right now. Have a great day/afternoon/evening/night!
Tonight's ๐ฒ FAIRPHONE 6๏ธโฃ update brings the same simplification to bootloader unlocking that the FP3 received in March: No more unlocking code needed (OEM unlocking in developer options and unlocking via ADB and Fastboot are still required). Apart from that, the update promises a couple of fixes as well, e.g. for the curse of mysteriously disappearing photos just taken. /u

Unlocking codes will no longer be necessary for FAIRPHONE 4๏ธโฃ bootloader unlocking either. After tonight's ๐ฒ FP4 UPDATE, only the FP5 will still need a code โ let's see if the next FP5 update completes the elimination. /u
"pmbootstrap will now perform strict builds of packages by default, which was previously opt-in behavior enabled either by invoking it with the --strict flag or by setting pmb:strict in the APKBUILD for a package. The change for this was merged to pmbootstrap's main branch today and will be shipping in the next minor release, probably 3.11.0."
Thanks to @aelin for implementing this and writing the devel blog post!
