Special Update, is it trustworthy?

Hi,
My Updater currently sais something about a special update, is that trustworthy or did something go wrong in the IT departement?
Greetings,
Gerrit

It’s listed on the Fairphone website on the release notes page:

And to avoid duplicates please continue here:

Yes, @Gerrit_Grosskopf, this is an official update. Sorry for not announcing it on the forum and for the resulting confusion.

As was already pointed out:

  • The update is only available from the Updater if Fairphone OS 18.02.0 is installed.
  • It is meant to mitigate stability issues in devices produced since summer of last year.
  • The changes will be included in upcoming Fairphone OS 18.03.
  • This only affects devices produced after Q3 2017.

Thanks, @johannes, for pointing to the release notes
