so far so good, from a develloper standpoint, the Beta fixed everything that halted our productivity. I admit, i havent tested every single point on the changelog either.

Great to hear and thank you for report it. Hopefully if the testing is through the weekend and like I said, no new bugs we could all get the get Fix update asap. fingures crossed. 

Happy for you guys, you can get back to work 😉

It says 'hotfix beta' in the title now Bob.  Not sure if it was edited.  Anyway, good news.

It was edited, that is not what it said originally.

yea, SU7 really ground everything to a halt, devmode was all porked. The new thing here is they speciffically say, it will go out only when testers "approve" it, wich means its likely to take a while, but at least now, it looks like they'll listen to us!

Wow do they setup a voting mechanism for this? But is good news overall!

A "beta" hotfix?. How do you read that?

Testing a hotfix before release Ed, is how I read it. Lets hope this is a sign of things to come, and as been reported they will not release untill the testers say "yes" 🙂

As long as this also means that these do not appear at all when they are not supposed to be present.

Hey guys, I wont be joining this beta due to the probable/possible requirements to redownload the entire package (maybe multiple times).  However I am curious for you that may have gone through this process.  I understand that this is intended to be a SU7 fix (vs SU8 release), if so, could I reasonably be seeing this sometime in December?  I feel if it rolled into late January they would just hold it until the planned Feb. SU8 release.

Yes, it is speculation at this point, but I am curious about your opinions.

If it is good Mike, I would expect the full update about a week afterwards.  Certainly before the Christmas break.

I am a little bit perturbed about the "abnormal temperatures above 45K ft" fix..........the issue is actually above 24K ft....not 45K.

Isn’t this just the beta that was announced already and discussed in the other post?

Or is this something else? 

[Republic3D 1,232]

Well that's good news. And I'm glad the hotfix will be beta tested, although I really want this fix ASAP.

Exactly, I do not fly above 45K, never, but the bug is present above 24k. Does not make sense at all.......
