Bernard,
What I should have included in my earlier post is that you're the third person to come out with a comment like this in the last few months. The first was someone, I think it was Markush, who said that Devialet were testing a beta firmware that fixed the gigabit ethernet RAAT issue. The second came a bit later when someone, I can't remember who, posted that they were testing the beta and it did fix the bug with RAAT. If I remember correctly one of those posts hinted at a release timed to coincide with the dates when the Munich show had been scheduled for prior to its cancellation. We're now past that date, there's been nothing official, and we get another hint, this time from you.
That's why I'm so annoyed about this approach. It seems to be drop a hint via an unofficial source, when that hint starts to look suspect because of non-delivery, drop another similar hint and when that hint can't be delivered on, drop yet another hint. Each time a different person gets used, and it's that person who becomes the person associated with the statement rather than Devialet who sit back in silence and can claim to have said nothing because there has been no official statement.
If you had been the first to post the kind of comment you did, I'd have been quite heartened by the news as I was with the first such post a while ago. It was great to hear that something was actually happening. 2 similar posts from different people staggered over some time now with nothing having actually happened and these hints start to take on a very different appearance. I think we're definitely at the point where the next thing we see needs to be something official out of Devialet, preferably an actual firmware release and preferably a bug free one, rather than another hint from a user who just happens to have been told something that Devialet are avoiding saying publicly.
