V8.165 delayed

Hi everyone,

we have to delay the next release for another week. The current plan is to release Version 8.165 on

[SIZE="5"]Tuesday, May 24th.
[/SIZE]

As i already wrote in another thread: this delay is mostly due to a company-wide event during the next week, where most of us will be off-site and thus cannot fix the bugs or test the fixes.

If you have questions, please feel free to ask.

Regards,
Kai

As you have probably seen in the beta section, Many users (I am one of them [:)] ) have issues with multiple reboots per day. Is there a *.rpm (patch ) that exists so we can continue with the beta until the official 8.165?

No. We don't know the exact reason for that problem yet, thus there is no fix.

Sorry,
Kai

This is quite the *****y way to run a beta.

I'm sure it would have been possible to schedule it around all those delays.

If I participate in a beta, obviously there are usually problems to be solved, sometimes severe one. As a volunteer for that amount of pain I do expect a certain amount of support and timely fixing efforts.

You are volunteering to install and use these betas, but Astaro has clearly laid out (https://community.sophos.com/products/unified-threat-management/astaroorg/f/110/t/70158) that there will be issues, that betas should NOT be used in a production environment, and that usage of the beta is at your own risk.  You may have certain expectations, but these are not based upon any assertion on the part of Astaro.  Timely is a very subjective thing and the only reasonable expectation that can be had is that major problems reported will be fixed by the time of GA release.  Astaro works very hard at being communicative and responsive to its' beta testers, much more so than a lot of much larger and better known companies in their betas.

In your first sentence, you have used profanity, which is a violation of the terms of use on these forums.  I have edited your post to obfuscate the offending word, but have chosen not to tag your account with an infraction.  Take it as a warning to be more thoughtful in your choice of words.

We are still working on a fix for the reboot problem and thus decided to further delay the release of 8.165 until this is fixed. I know that this has been a long time for you guys, but please keep in mind that most of the developers have been on an off-site event, and thus had only 2-3 days to work on those fixes.

Thanks,
Kai
