Good to hear that you're happy with the new RC3 release, and it's full of multiple improvements
Don't want to bog down the thread with my woos, but my biggest issue is with Devialet forcing my hand and my only chance of having the CI upgrade is during the 3rd/4th April, after that no option to send back to France (yes, I could fight this if I didn't choose the upgrade now, but the fact I have to be put into this situation is &%@).
Where I would agree with CK and my semantics is with Devialet and they're interpretation of RC & Beta. The 1st CI OS issued by Devialet on the 1st December was Release Candidate 4 and no mention of Beta, hence no conditions, formal release to all. The next 3 OS releases were all Beta, and corresponding onerous conditions attached. Last week Olivier put a comment on the Devialet CI Log that a new software was due in a few days (great). Next someone asked a question of the new software "will it be another beta version or a full release version?". Later that day Olivier replied "it will be a release candidate, being thoroughly tested internally at the moment."
Right, with my semantic head on - the only Realise Candidate Devialet has issued to-date RC4; formal, no conditions attached. Subsequent 3 releases all Beta; with onerous conditions. Fantastic (I think), a new release candidate about to be issued and I won't have to join the Beta program. Nope silly me, Devialet being Devialet turns things around and a release candidate is now part of the Beta Program - what, are you kidding. So now I have to either join the Beta Program (don't want to) or make do with the only formal issued OS for CI's - Release Candidate 4 (and it's multiple bugs).
Now Devialet you really are taking the P...
Ok, official moan now over, won't get into this again, and really hope everyone is hearing great improvements with the new RC3 Beta release, and that the features it comes with are primarily bug free.
Hope everyone has a great weekend, and gets a chance to sit down and relax to some fantastic music
