Sailfish OS 4.5.0.25 now available. This update only includes a revised EULA and thus prepares for the upcoming 4.6.0 Sauna release.
For older devices (Jolla C, Tablet, Gemini PDA, Xperia X), 4.6.0 will be the final update.

Also: changes to payment handling on Jolla Shop & predictive text input issue for new license buyers, currently being resolved.

@sailfishosnews SailfishOS has revised EULA. Great news! Yeah, instead of "revised EULA", would not it be nice if you made it free software and played with a rest of community? Not even Android has an EULA.

@pavel The changes to the EULA are minor and mostly have to do with changes of ownership. Community ports do not require acceptance of the EULA. However, your question is indeed valid and is a recurring topic. There have been improvements in this regard, but there is still a lot of room for much more. However, these concerns would have to be addressed directly to Jolla, as this is a community account.

@sailfishosnews So I welcome competition in phone space, and SailfishOS is indeed part of that. But as the dominant distribution is Android, I'd really prefer options that are at least as free as that.
