Upgraded about an hour ago. So far no camera issues - front, back and video recording all is fine.

Btw. regarding “devel-su version --dup”:
The instructions state to run “devel-su ssu release …” instead of the usual “ssu release …” when upgrading from 3 to 4 (I had this situation). IIRC this involved copying some config file manually. Do you think it is worth checking for future releases?

Thanks for the good work as always! :+1:

I added the missing devel-su to the instructions.

Does anyone know if there are md5 or sha256 hashes for the Sailfish OS 4.5.0.19 release? The download site is simple http, not encrypted https. I would love to be able to confirm from another site that the file I downloaded corresponds with what its supposed to be, and though its not fool-proof (no security measure is!), a cryptographic hash would at least show me that my download was correct. Thanks!

I could of course add some hashes to the release notes in these threads. Edit: added md5sum to the initial post. I can also add that to the wiki page so then we have two places for it.
