As reported on Flypig's blog, his huge work on moving to a newer engine for the native browser, started to get merged in the Sailfish OS repositories, also with the help of other contributors. The user facing part of the telephony stack received the ability to filter out incoming calls. And last but not least, one can notice that direc85 has now write access to the official repositories, which means he's working directly for Jollyboys. LLVM, Rust and other packages were upgraded thanks to his work as a contributor and he started his new public tasks by upgrading various low level libraries.
