Jolla heeft een update van zijn Sailfish OS uitgebracht met 3.1.0.11 als het volledige versienummer. Voor de naam van deze uitgave is gekozen voor Seitseminen, een nationaal park ongeveer 50km ten noorden van Tampere in Finland. Sailfish kan gebruikt worden op toestellen van Jolla, de Sony Xperia X en XA2, en de Gemini PDA. De aankondiging ziet er als volgt uit:
[release notes] 3.1.0 Seitseminen
Sailfish OS 3.1 is our biggest update since the launch of Sailfish 3 last year. It features redesigns of many core apps, including People, Phone, Messages, and Clock, driven by extensive UX studies. It also brings small changes to the look of the documents and gallery apps. This all aims to make Sailfish more intuitive, encouraging a more natural usage of the device. The other big focus for this update is security: we introduce disk encryption support (to be rolled out to devices in phases), VPN changes to ensure that your traffic is secure from the first moment you use your phone, and enhanced isolation of many system APIs and functionalities. With many bugfixes and improvements to its Android™ App Support, plus the addition of fingerprint authentication, this update brings Sailfish X for Xperia XA2 officially out of beta!
Many thanks to you our active contributors for your feedback and proposals.

Display
- XA2: Fingerprint authentication can be used instead of typing the security code when unlocking the screen of XA2 devices now.

Consequently, you will need to enable the device lock again after the OS update. Therefore, do not forget to visit Settings > Device lock.

- Option for signing email messages (using pgp) implemented initially, not enabled by default. This feature is currently only for developers, and advanced users. Email signing only works for generic email accounts.Thanks to Damien Caliste who developed this.
