Was the 1.1.0.9 update rushed or even planned?

I have a question. For a while now people have complained about no blue tooth updates, no traffic updates (both features listed as available soon) There are tons of index issues with SD, Everyone knows custom POI's do not work with 1.1.0.0 and so on. I was happy to see an update was finally released last night but quickly realized none of the important issues were even mentioned. And to top it off it's worse then 1.1.0.0. Is there a team that tests the updates prior to release because it seems the Nav button issue was pretty blatant and should have been caught within seconds? Now people are having issues playing mp3's, still cant browse while in navigation, Was there a reason to wait this long, more problems were created then fixed.

I am not trying to just complain here, I like SD a lot, enough to make me a paying customer for it. I didn't pay for the software but instead I thought I was paying for the ongoing support that seems has declined significantly since I became a paying customer.

Haven't installed the update yet, but from reading the changelog, I agree with your assessment. However, there were quite a few bug fixes in the changelog...just not the bugs that have been discussed/requested on the forums.

The nav button issue should have been caught by QA prior to the skin release, but having skinned SD myself, it's an error that could be accidentally introduced fairly easily while modifying other aspects of the skin. So, I don't think it's really that big a deal.

I will say that I have noticed one nice feature in the new update... It always seems to remember what MP3 it was playing last... even if you switch out of music!! BIG PLUS!!

I was getting sick of always having it start at the same song when you hit the 'play all' button, after using a different module!

Agreed that the NAV thing should have been caught... but... Some features are hard to test in the Devel package... NAV is one of them :-)

Besides... who woulda thought the button would get un-mapped??

Thank goodness...the first song in my queue is always "Carnival" by Natalie Merchant...I am so tired of that song!

Yes, it was tested by our beta testers group as well as internally.

The navigation bug was not caught during testing because it was a packaging error introduced at the last minute after releasing the internal BETA and the test machines the update was tested on were erroneously setup to use a previously installed default skin.

Only one other issue reported thus far has been duplicatable on any test machines here.

I believe I just figured this one out. You are seeing this bug because you probably have auto save enabled in "Shutdown settings" The music stops because there is a bug that stops the music whenever it is saved and its only present if it saves.

You should be able to fix this for now by going to Settings | General | Shutdown and change your auto save interval to disabled.

I think I do... I will either call the wife, and get her to change it... or I will do it this evening.

Thanks!
