Connect - will it ever get fixed?

Hello Everyone,

Thank you for bringing these concerns to our attention!  We understand your frustration and are diligently working on addressing them in an update to MicroStation CONNECT Edition.  We are making a transition to releasing smaller and more often.  Update 1 will resolve many of the issues you have raised – it will contain only fixes, not new functionality – and it also sets the precedent for regular updates.  We expect to have a technology preview build of MicroStation CONNECT Edition Update 1 in approximately a month (as always with these things, the specific date depends upon a number of factors).  We intend to follow it with Update 2 approximately a quarter following Update 1 and we are looking to do so using incremental installers in addition to full builds.  We appreciate your encouragement about what is new and good in CONNECT Edition and also your feedback about what needs to be improved, both with respect to software itself as well as the process by which we deliver it. 

Regards,
Makai

Thank you for the update. This encouraging news. I am glad to hear Bentley is working at fixing the existing problems and not trying to add new features. Let's hope v8i SS4 is following the same path!

Its good to hear that Bentley is focusing on fixing the bugs. Let us hope for a Commercial Release of CE Update 1 (be)for(e) the summer and Update 2 for the fall then. Hopefully it will allow the CE to get some real traction.

Hello Everyone,

it will contain only fixes, not new functionality

Will there be a list of what fixes have been made?

Would you like something like https://www.bricsys.com/common/releasenotes.jsp?i=4303

(edit - corrected as per next post)

Tom, your link isn't working because you pointing to your drive. It's something like this?
www.bricsys.com/.../releasenotes.jsp

Shouldn't all the programs have a list of corrected issues? If I remember correctly for the release of SS3 we ask for that and we get it. Or along the EAP of SS3...

(edit) - I believe at that time that the list was here to stay, but unfortunately no it wasn't. Let's wait and see the next release...

Regards
