DEVIALET now Roon Ready.

[struts]

These are Danny's words exactly 120 days ago. Not bad at all Devialet! 

Another thing to look at: the previous version was fw 13.0.0 and dos 2.2.2. This version is fw 13.1.3.1 and dos 2.2.4.

Since we've got a 4 number fw code we know there were at least 4 versions prepared and tested to get to 13.1.3.1 (13.1, 13.2, 13.3, and 13.1.3.1) but there may have been versions between 13.0.0 and 13.1.3. We also know there were at least 2 versions of the dos prepared and tested between 2.2.2 and 2.2.4. Again there may have been versions that ran to 4 number designations as well. That means they've gone through preparing at least 6 different softwares since the last version was released 8 months ago.

I think a lot of work went into this. Some of those software versions may have been minor and simple bug fixes. I suspect the difference between 13.1.3 and 13.1.3.1 was pretty minor given the numbering, but there would have been bigger differences between 13.1.0, 13.1.1, 13.1.2, and 13.1.3 with minor bug fixes between each of those iterations and the same for the dos versions.

That's a fair bit of development work and a fair bit of testing, and we know there were earlier versions before the last release because they showed a beta version of the roon ready software in Munich last year. The numbering of the new and the last versions does tell a story.

I agree.  Evidence that this has been managed to a quality target rather than a date target.  Kudos to Devialet (and Roon).  The wait was painful and the silence was even more painful, but the result (for me at least) is worth it.  Cranking through some favourite tracks on the bigrig with a big smile on my face.
