Connectivity

- Email app does not prompt for Internet connection anymore when checking folders while offline
- Ensured reliable syncing of Exchange account
Home screen
- Missing thumbnail does not prevent playing a video clip anymore

Keyboard
- Fixed the issue of application launcher blur not updating after changing ambience

Settings
- bzip2 1.0.8 - CVE-2016-3189, CVE-2019-12900
- expat 2.2.9 - CVE-2018-20843 and CVE-2019-15903
- glibc 2.28 - CVE-2019-9169
- readline 8.0 - CVE-2014-2524
- [Xperia 10] User data encryption was added for Xperia 10 (in fact, it was included in 3.2.0 already - we repeat the key things here for new customers). It is present by default. You have the following options (in case of Sailfish installed just now):
- Setting the security code during the initial startup of your device. It will be used to unlock the encryption (during device startups) and for the tasks related to the device lock. There is no way to disable the security code, the encryption nor the device lock other than re-installing (re-flashing) Sailfish or running the factory reset (which requires the security code)
- Skipping the security code dialogue in the initial startup and set the security code later in Settings > Device lock. Until then, encryption works in the background (no code queries) but you cannot enable the device lock.
Storage
- Encryption information added to "Settings > Encryption". Visible if user data encryption is installed - currently possible on Xperia 10 only
- Ambiences settings page now follows the current ambience colouring instead of the colouring of the particular ambience list item
- SIM card error (SIM not unlocked yet, locked permanently) pages now work properly on landscape (only affects tablet variants)
- Certificate details are now translated
- Backup settings page should no longer get stuck indefinitely, searching for backups
UI components
- File opening broke due to filename/url encoding. This is fixed now
- Folder details view shows the number of files in the folder now
- Encryption information added to Settings > Encryption
VPN
- Tab header design aligned with header components, right-aligned like page header. Previously, each tab was given one-third of the page width, and the labels were horizontally centred. Now, one header can take less than one-third width, giving more room to others.
- "GridItem" provided for 3rd party to ease development of grid layouts for native Sailfish apps
- Content deletion use cases redesigned to reduce confusion new users face. The work that was started in the previous release and continued in 3.2.1
- Opening portrait-only page from landscape orientation fixed
- Allow context menu deletion action on menu item delayedClick()
- Fix remorse item colouring when not following the global theme
- Fix crash with using label component within delegates
Device specific notes
- Improved VPN connection request handling. Having a VPN with invalid server IP, for instance, or when the VPN server is down, no longer causes VPN settings page to be unresponsive if the VPN is attempting to connect to the server for a long time and always failing. This was caused by improper management of D-Bus calls in ConnMan and is now fixed.
- Improved the VPN settings of OpenConnect to support different authentication methods (cookie, credentials, public key authentication and PKCS#1/#8/#12. PKCS#8 is not working at the moment).
- Improve VPN authentication error detection and interaction with VPN agent (all VPN types). An authentication error is shown in VPN agent dialogue if such happens.
- Fixed the issue of opening multiple VPN agent dialogues on top of each other with OpenConnect, VPNC, L2TP and PPTP in case the VPN agent request or VPN process timeouts.
- A VPN connection can no longer be stuck on "Problems with connection" state in VPN settings. This can be reset by enabling the VPN again or by going to VPN connection settings and saving the settings (VPN goes to idle state).
- Fixed L2TP VPN connectivity and settings. All advanced settings are properly saved, CHAP is used as a default peer authentication method with new L2TP connections.
- Fixed PPTP VPN connectivity on Xperia 10.
- Fixed PPP settings pages available on L2TP and PPTP VPNs. If authentication via MPPE is required in settings either of the MSCHAP or MSCHAPv2 is used (both cannot be disabled).
- The issue of OpenVPN forgetting credentials in various non-authentication errors is improved. OpenVPN should not forget credentials when the connection is terminated for reasons unknown.
- Improved the situation with OpenVPN when an invalid password for the encrypted private key is given.
