v10 Release Updates?

[muscanto]

Hello,

Just checking in. Has there been any progress towards v10 release? Is a Beta available now?

The future is still completely uncertain with the ICs.
We recently got a +12 months delay notification for some orders (made in year 2021).
In the meantime, we got an exceptional deal which is supposed to arrive in April. The manufacturer still maintains the ETD, but we will trust him only once the ICs will be in our hands. Our experience says they can easily add 6 months just one week before the delivery date.

So in the meantime we added a lot of things in the new software.
We plan to stabilize a version in end of April, and then we will need 1-2 months to make the tutorials (the existing tutorials are obsoletes for the new software). The BETA version could be released once the tutorials will be finished.

Thanks for the update.

Sounds like you are hopeful for a beta release in June then?

Looking forward to new features for 2023

Out of curiosity, did your shipment arrive? How is the progress coming?

[support]

Not arrived yet.
They said June now.
We will see.

Hello,

What's the status?

[support]

They told us "end of August" now.
Anyway, we are also accumulating delay with our new (and necessary) tutorials.
The person in charge of doing these tutorials is deeply using the new software, and he gaves us ideas of some smart improvements. We have to implement them while we can do that easily (before users build new scenes with it). So this adds more delay.
We plan to work on tutorials until month of August.

Is it possible to be added to the test/beta team?

I'm pretty sure I can be of value as an very experienced Sweetlight user having all hardware ever produced by you.

[muscanto]

Yes - would love to be apart of testing. I'm sure I can give valuable feedback.

Please let me know how that's possible. I'm willing to review tutorials as well in return of being able to test the new software.
