DumaOS 3.0 Release for XR700
So all of the DumaOS related forums have been closed and we can't reply on them anymore. We were told multiple times from NetDuma that there was a 3.0 coming for release and that they had a "new sys...

None of the forums have been closed, they're all still open and able to be replied to. I understand you are frustrated but we are working on it, outside the link above there isn't any more information we can provide about the status of updates. The R1 basically has an Open Beta of 3.0, same with the 700. R2 got it first I believe, then the 500 was in beta for awhile and the 1000 had it pretty much from the start. Different platforms require differing amounts of work hence why they're at a different stage. Given 3.2 was already being worked on it would take more time to go back and put a full stable version of 3 on the 700. 3.2 is the firmware we plan to almost unify the platforms with so they're all at a relatively similar level.
- XR700-OwnerSep 03, 2022ApprenticeWhat's up Frasier! First, I can't reply on any of the other xr700 dumaos 3.0 forums so there's that. I'm not sure why but at least now I know others can reply. So why is it I can't reply on the forums I used to be able to? Second, why did NetDuma decide to start work on 3.2 when not all the machines even have 3.0 yet? Lastly, why say after 3.2 is written for the xr500 (because it's the dev router) it'll simply be ported over as you've started before it's not as easy as a simple port over? I just don't understand the logic of any of it.
- Netduma-FraserSep 03, 2022NetDuma PartnerAre you referring to this forum? https://community.netgear.com/t5/Nighthawk-Pro-Gaming-Beta/bd-p/en-home-beta-firmware-npg If so it hasn't been used in a very long time so might be they've shut it done for a little while given it's not running a 'current' beta firmware. We are always iterating, we have multiple devs who work on different aspects some of which will go into 3.2 while others work on more current problems etc. We have to get the core of 3.2 sorted first, trying to literally build it on each platform would be counter intuitive, it's easier to port to different platforms than it is to build on each one separately.
- XR700-OwnerSep 03, 2022ApprenticeSo I get that and it makes sense, but why didn't you guys do that with 3.0? Was it more of a process that was developed after the fact? Like when 3.0 was already out you had devs working on 3.2, created a new process to port and test and 3.2 will now be what we all thought 3.0 would be too unify all the dumaOS systems?
