Why there isn’t an official ChangeLog page for each device ???

You surprise me every single day Garmin, and not in a good way !!!!!

Can someone from Garmin answer the question in the title ?

No guys, I don’t think I should browse the forum to read a ChangeLog, and read plenty of non-official comments about a firmware update !

Actually impossible to get a proper list of updates.

Are the Garmin servers limited in pages ?

or you just wanna pretend that the last updates are always the best, ignoring 50% of your users ending up in bootloop after an update ?

I am on 16.19 and totally afraid of updating to 17.26, and I cannot EVEN know if that update would be worth it !

Come on guys, be professional for once !!!

I made my own change log for a while, but finally realised that there is no way to install anything but the latest version anyway. On some devices you can not opt out of auto update to the latest version either.

Regarding 17.26, I think the amount of users with issues is fairly low, judging by the lack of complaints on this forum. I have no issues with it. There are some know errors about crashes after receiving notifications. Garmin has a fix, but it is not released yet.

Thx for your reply. But still, someone from Garmin could reply.

I updated to 17.26 some weeks ago, ended up in bootloop.

also, I would like the changelog not from that specific version, but everything new since 16.19 !

And that is possible ONLY by getting ALL the changelogs.

What are they doing in that company ? Do they even read their own forums ? Do they even use their own devices on a daily basis ?

A known weakness with the change logs posted on this forum, is that they only mention new features and fixes, and not new bugs. A few weeks after each release, we know about the most common bugs associated with the current version, but the change logs are not updated accordingly.

Such a shame...

they could make it so nice and enjoyable, without much work...

Thank you for the link, indeed it is better than what Garmin provides.

Though that page is so huge again, it painfully loads and hardly displays on small devices (iPhone 8, iPad 6, etc)

But thank you very much though.

Thank you for the link.

Though the page seems incomplete, because I'm on 16.19 and the update 17.26 is available, but both are not on that list :)))

That list is only for beta versions, not final release versions.

0 Ultin over 1 year ago in reply to ovekvam

Ok I see. So is there a similar page for final releases ?
(would make no sense to have a list for beta but not for final versions)
