Firmware 12.2.10

[Celts88]

So the OS issued on 1st December was RC4, and the one issued yesterday is RC3 - yep that makes sense. Also the previous RC was a commercial release now the new RC is part of the Beta program (yep, I know it says Apple & Spotify still validate, therefore why call it an RC).

Also the comments section of the CI Log for this new OS is closed, no comments allowed - Devialet with their open transparency 

On the RC3 front, someone could just have made a typo and typed a 3 instead of a 5.

There's 2 parts to the release, the OS and the firmware. I suspect that the next official release will contain the same version of the OS as in this beta plus a less advanced firmware version so the beta element of this release is actually in the firmware rather than the OS.. They're probably just rolling the beta out before the official release so beta testers are seeing the release candidate for the OS first, those not in the beta program will see it once Apple and Spotify have verified their bits of it.

Comments for the CI log entry are probably closed because Devialet want all comments back through the official beta testing channel and not publicly visible.

I don't think there's anything funny going on, just Devialet putting the cart before the horse releasing the beta version before the next official version which may be because they're trying to speed up the process a bit.

Devialet have previous for the numbers going backwards OS 2.1 Firmware 11.5.18 RC4 (01-12-2017), but the next release OS 2.2 Firmware 11.5.17 beta4 (12-12-2017)

There's only ever been 1 official software release for CI Expert customers and that was 1st December nearly 4 months ago. Even worse for the non CI Expert model customers as the last software release for them was 24th April 2017, 11 months ago (if you have a non CI Export model then arrivederci, as it appears no more software updates for you).

There's been 3 previous Beta software releases and all of these were open for comment. How come now with the 4th release they want to keep all comments private. 175 posts on the CI Logs by customers, but only 8 replies by Devialet (not a very good ratio is it). Where's the transparency and open dialogue Quentin Sannié promised when he posted his thread back in early November last year "For regular progress updates on Core Infinity, you can follow our logbook here and share your thoughts with us".

Off course it's great news with the new release being introduced, with more bug fixes, but Devialet still aren't the most reliable as per above. I actually feel sorry for guys like Olivier and the others within Devialet who are bursting there b....., and appreciate they work really hard to do the best they can with the time and limited assistance they seem to have.
