Hi all!
We have just released Sxmo 1.13.0. It will be available to postmarketOS
edge users soon. If you are on postmarketOS edge, run `sxmo_upgrade.sh`
(preferably via ssh) to upgrade to the latest release. After the
upgrade, we recommend a reboot.
As always, remember to run `$ sxmo_migrate.sh` after the reboot to
sync your configs to the latest release. For more info on the
configversion and `$ sxmo_migrate.sh` see the docs:
https://man.sr.ht/~anjan/sxmo-docs/USERGUIDE.md#strongupdate-migrationsstrong
Please hop on irc if you have any issues:

This release has bug fixes and quality of life improvements.
Let's go over some highlights!
# Sxmo pn fork: pnc
pn is used in Sxmo for phone number validation, formatting, and
information. However, Orange-OpenSource/pn is now unmaintained and
archived.
For this release, we replaced pn with an Sxmo maintained project called
pnc (pn continued). The latest release of pnc implements tests, fixes
manpage install paths, and fixes typos. The fork (pnc) will ensure that
issues with this core component are fixed going forward.
# Device support
- Add device profile for 'samsung,a3u-eur'
- polaris (Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S): add device profile
- fix screen rotation on some devices
- Fix scale for samsung,gt510
- Fix volume keys for lge,hammerhead
- Increase scale for fajita and enchilada
- Fix monitor for fajita
## Pulseaudio support
SDM845 devices require pulseaudio support. As such, Sxmo now supports
the pipewire stack and pulseaudio. If pulseaudio is installed, Sxmo
will use pulseaudio instead of pipewire.
