I'd like to take a moment to give a little more visibility into the processes that are going into the GA (final) release of 8.200, to the extent of my knowledge.
Since the posting of the soft-release version of 8.200, a number of issues have come to light which need to be fixed, that are either new and not reported during the beta process or are regression bugs.
Since the soft-release, programmers have been working hard to isolate and remediate these problems, QA has been testing the fixes diligently, and support has continued training on all of the new features.
Frequent meetings have been taking place to track progress and discuss scheduling for release of 8.200 GA and a companion up2date package, 8.201. Representatives from various departments across Astaro need to come to a consensus on readiness before a hard date can be set to ensure maximum quality and minimum problems for the release.
It is very important to everyone at Astaro that these issues are fixed to the same high standards of quality that customers have come to expect and the company work ethos demands. Astaro appreciates the enthusiasm with which the customer base anticipates the release of 8.200 GA, one of the most feature packed versions in Astaro's history. When it is determined that 8.200 GA is ready and a release date is set, official posting will be made here on the forums.
