@yannis-belouris its an exchange. we aug they jul

Dimitrios Kanellopoulos · 30 Jul 2018, 13:04

Apart from the jokes here, there is tons of dev, it just does not reach you guys still.

Sorry for that but needs further testing to go to beta.

Dimitrios Kanellopoulos · 30 Jul 2018, 13:05

Just FYI and a reminder, beta is open to anyone. One click and he is in.

So now the beta channel is protected.

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos Always optimistic!

Marius Jacobsen Eggerud · 30 Jul 2018, 15:26

@Luís-Pinto let’s assume they have spent the time really well.

I would imagine that to mean slower updates to the beta channel, due to increased internal testing, caused by a larger user base (ie harder to marshall through a beta program).

Yes, i think it’s a problem of identity of alpha and beta.
We want to test alpha software but Suunto want us to test beta.

Ze Stuart · 30 Jul 2018, 17:47

@Mi_chael I’m OK with a stable beta.

(I define stable beta as ‘software works, doesn’t crash, but some last polishing and edge-case detection required’. I define alpha as ‘probably crashes a bit, code compiles and executes but logic still needs thorough testing’.)

Mi_chael · 30 Jul 2018, 18:38

If I have the choice I prefer test alpha software with many updates…even if it’s stable.

Dimitrios Kanellopoulos · 30 Jul 2018, 18:43

The difference with Alpha to beta apart from what @Ze-Stuart mentioned:

Sometimes in Alpha there are features that might not come, or “easter eggs”
Sometimes in Alpha there can be serius mistakes. App not opening etc
Sometimes in Alpha there can be users loosing their activities. Due to wrong syncs etc.
In Alpha there is logging enabled that does send user identifiers to resolve the issue. This requires consent and NDA.

IMO it’s ok as it is now. FYI at some point, you were all alpha.

To add some even more complexity to this is that there is also internal versions. (not dev versions)

Mi_chael · 30 Jul 2018, 18:57

I like easter eggs…!!!
