new Firmware 11.5

[Celts88]

Hmm, I wonder what is this Beta Program. If I understood it correctly, we are not allowed to discuss about new features or bugs anymore here if we join this program.

5. Nonuse and Nondisclosure of Confidential Information
You agree that you will not disclose, distribute, publish, or otherwise disseminate any Confidential Information or any features related to the Update to anyone unless expressly permitted or agreed to in writing by Devialet.  You agree to use the Confidential Information solely for the permitted uses as set forth in the Terms and Conditions.  You agree not to use Confidential Information otherwise for your own or any third party’s benefit without the prior written approval of Devialet in each instance.  You hereby acknowledge that unauthorized disclosure or use of Confidential Information could cause irreparable harm and significant injury to Devialet.  

That seems like reasonable wording for a closed beta testing program.  Agreed, I would also interpret it as forbidding discussion of the software on this forum and any others.  Sonos (to pick one example) apply the same kind of policy.

"Beta Testing Program"

What program; all Devialet have done is release new Beta software, but then put conditions not allowing anyone to talk about those issues (or even discuss the good bits of the software).

1. They say there's known bugs, but won't tell anyone what they are
2. They say send us info on any issues you have, but then at the same time say they probably won't reply

Beta testing is an exchange of information, not a one way (only to them) flow of info.

So much for Devialet being more transparent with communication (yes, tell us what problems you find and we'll keep it to ourselves
