With the Logitech approach the beta testers can suggest improvements that could be included in the release currently under beta testing instead of waiting for a future release.
Everyone can choose if they like to run: - An official stable tested release (7.3.3) - A beta testing release only containing critical bug corrections (7.3.4 beta) - A alpha/beta testing release containing new functionality (7.4) I suppose Logitech could rename the last one to "alpha" but I've a hard time seeing how a name change would make a big improvement. Would it be better if there just was 7.3.3 and nothing else available at the moment ? With the current approach you at least have the possibility to make a choice either run the stable official 7.3.3 release or try out the new stuff with the risk of breaking some functionality. Regarding problems with internet radio, you will have to remmeber that 7.3.3 might have worked when it was release but due to changes by the internet radio provider it might have stopped working at a later time. There is no easy way for Logitech to handle that besides focusing on including a correction in 7.3.4 or 7.4. -- erland Erland Isaksson 'My homepage' (http://erland.isaksson.info) (Install my plugins through Extension Downloader) (Developer of 'TrackStat, SQLPlayList, DynamicPlayList, Custom Browse, Custom Scan, Custom Skip, Multi Library, Title Switcher and Database Query plugins' (http://wiki.erland.isaksson.info/index.php/Category:SlimServer)) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ erland's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3124 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=65677 _______________________________________________ beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta
