I have never really seen SlimDevices respond to stability issues that
customers continually bring up. We all know that there are repeatable
problems. There should be patch releases that fix bugs in the current
release and not just put into a un-released nightly build.
a patch release is EXACTLY what the 6.2.2 builds are. They are not
"official" until certain target problems are solved (ie, Slim responds
to issues).

The last offical release 6.2.1 was over 4 months ago on Nov. 16, 2005.
I am hopeful that a new official release is coming out shortly that
fixes some of the ignoring bugs.
There aren't any ignoring bugs, or ignored bugs. There are a lot that
are fixed in 6.2.2, which hasn't been officially released because of
issues with the firmware that affect some wireless access point
combinations.
If they release 6.2.2 now, the people with affected WAPs yell about
product quality. If they don't, people in your situation yell about
product quality. Lose-lose situation. Ain't software great? So in an
attempt to please the most people most of the time, they make the fixes
available on an "unofficial" basis. The not-released nightly is to scare
off unsuspecting people with affected WAPs, while people with current
problems can be pointed to the latest.
Obviously it's not perfect, but if you've got a better solution, I'm
sure SDI will be all ears.
Somewhat OT: I'm starting to think that an Open Source Project
