Will there be any more 6.9.x release or are you already releasing the 7.0 firmware family soon?

Will there be any more 6.9.x release or are you already releasing the 7.0 firmware family soon?

Will there be any more 6.9.x releases  or are you already releasing the beta 7.0 firmware family soon?

 

If yes, will the RN1XX-2XX models still be supported?

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Miklos

There is a ReadyNASOS 6.9.4-T8. If you have questions about this firmware open new threads.

6.9.x needn't necessarily be the last 6.x series. with RAIDiator-x86 4.2 we got up to RAIDiator-x86 4.2.31, that's more than 30 firmware releases.

 

You'll have to wait and see.

 

The RN212 and RN214 are current products.

 

6.9.0 added a LTS (Long Term Support) update channel. So 6.9.x releases may not stop immediately once there's a newer firmware series.

You seem to be assuming single digits.  I expect that after 6.9.x we'll see 6.10.x.

Can you please answer the question about RN1xx running on 7 when it arrives? As there are still unresolved bugs in 6.9.3, it would be good to know that's not all we get.

I have said all that I have to say this on subject above. You'll have to wait and see.

 

It would be best if you could open/update threads on the unresolved issues that you are facing.

That pretty much means they're going to be dumped when 7 comes out. I challenge you to say otherwise.

 

I am waiting for 6.9.4 to see if my issues are resolved.

I didn't say that at all.

 

Our firmware update plans are confidential and very much subject to change. I think you should read my first post in this thread again.

 

You can keep a look out for betas as we generally release public beta firmware before production updates.

Sounds to me like you are starting off by making something up.  Why do you think they are even working on 7 ?????

Guys, I did not mean to kick the hornet's nest... I was simply curious as no further beta updates surfaced lately...

 

Usually new public betas coming out some weeks after the final release - now it has been nearly 2 months since the 6.9.3 final was released (06/03/2018)

 

Regards,

FWIW, IMO your "challenge" was trolling.

 

I'm locking this thread, as I think @Miklos got the answer he was looking for.
