End of Beta program?

There's clearly an absolute ton of bugs with the 965 - has the beta program been closed indefinitely or will you be running another to get these issues fixed?

Because leaving it as really leaves a lot of problems for users

There will be a new beta version.

But if they fix the ton of bugs? Very unlikely, if you ask me. Version 18 didn’t fix that many, but did introduce quite some new ones.

So, if things will be better with a new version…

I saw on the Epix sub some saying the weather overlay performance was much improved so fingers crossed!

Please keep in mind the fenix/epix development team is a completely different team than the forerunner development team. They might have to implement the same feature, but they do it in their own way with different bugs.

I do think the fenix/epix team is slightly better.

The last update was pretty noticeable alright due to the number of bugs that came with it. I'm normally pretty sanguine about these things but this one pushed me over the edge into annoyance.

And that probably explains why are there so many bugs...
