One week countdown...

[Flashman]

I think it’s a dishonest strategy. If Devialet wants owners to know something then they should make a public statement by email or on their own website, not leak a bit to someone and then another bit to someone else a little later, and keep doing that without committing themselves to anything definite. This is definitely not the way for them to improve their communication in my view.

I am with David A on this point. 

I started this thread as whispers from people supposedly in the know thought the firmware update might drop around the time of the cancelled Munich Hi-End Show, now sadly passed.

We've really wasted so much breath without any recent word from Devialet about the future.  We can all more or less agree that we love the performance of our units but it's a pity to have been promised increased CI functionality, not to mention a needed bug fix, and not have any communication from Devialet since the July 17, 2019 event at Oxford Audio when the company's Mathieu Pernot answered questions from participants.  Thanks to @thumb5 for the helpful Q&A that he posted at the time (link here).   It's instructive to know that Mathieu's communication was not memorialized by Devialet in a broad communication to the installed base.  One had to be in the know -- on Devialet Chat -- to be privileged with this communication.  Just not a good way to deal with loyal customers, IMHO.
