The first service pack for the v22.06 release is here! It adds two new devices to the stable release that did not make it into the original release of v22.06. It also has a few nice stability improvements and adds the new Megapixels and postprocessd changes for improved picture quality on the PinePhone.

-
PINE64 PinePhone Pro has been added, with support for the postmarketOS installer. Just like with the OG PinePhone, the installer allows using encryption and installing from SD to eMMC. Find installation instructions in the updated wiki page as always.
-
Samsung Galaxy E7 has been backported to the stable release too. Again, reading the device's wiki page is a good idea.
-
Modem udev rules have been added to improve the stability when using the Biktorgj firmware on the PinePhone modem
-
Megapixels 1.5.2 is now available together with the updated version of postprocessd for improved picture quality and faster postprocessing on the supported Megapixels devices. To make use of it, run "
apk add postprocessd" in existing installations. New installation images will have it installed by default. See the video Megapixels and postprocessd improvements (PeerTube, YouTube) for details.
- osk-sdl 0.67 powers the device off when pressing the power button (in case you don't feel like unlocking your phone on boot right now), and fixes the issues with slow input when using an external keyboard. UPDATE 2022-07-20: We've gotten two reports that input is broken with this osk-sdl version on the PinePhone; although we can't reproduce it yet, the osk-sdl update has been reverted. Details and recovery instructions in pma#1618.
