I know people are frustrated with the non availability of 4.1, but it's for a good sake we're setting up everything to be ready for the D day, we hope we won't have to make all of you wait too long we're very confident this 4.1 will be a blast ^^

Thanks for your hard work. I appreciate it very much !

[Pablo Macaluso]

I hope tomorrow ... 4.1 release

[Substring]

@pablo-macaluso Nope, steal dealing with some problems here and there

Do you think to launch 4.1, first days it will be available, in torrent?

[Substring]

@jesús-bl 4.1 will be available as a regular update and as a stand alone on github.

[Jesús BL]

@substring OK, I give you this idea to help to download the new version first days.
We all start downloading the new version as soon as it will be available and server may be saturated.

[Substring]

@jesús-bl we've already thought about this. But this would require you to move the files by yourself on your recalbox. That's not something we expect users to do. The "real" interesting thing would be that recalbox's seed the update. But this can't be done in 4.0 nor in 4.1. Would take too much time to set all this up

[voljega]

@substring You could seed the img instead of files ?

[Substring]

@voljega The img can't be used for an upgrade

[voljega]

@substring yeah but there a handfull of people who will not care installing from scratch the 4.1 version and this could releave the server's charge a lot.

This could also be a solution for the current unavailability of the latest unstable

[Substring]

@voljega we can't have several irons in the fire, one step after an other. You do know we are very few to develop this. We wouldn't want to have recalbox on a public tracker, s this would mean to set up our own ... agani some time to spend on something else than the core of recalbox ... But anyway, we've discussed about torrents, that's something we may get into

[styletwo-wan]

@substring Why not calling the coming release 5.0 ? You know, the change is huge enough.

[Substring]

@styletwo-wan we're modest we have some very big changes to come in the versions after 4.1

Lacking support for the built-in Bluetooth on the Pi3, the current 4.0.2 is simply not an option. So I ask:

Do you have an ETA for 4.1? Days? Weeks? A month? Several Months? A year?

What is the current state of development? Unstable seems to have been an alpha of some kind, or was it what you would consider a beta? Are you currently working on non-public RCs, or how am I supposed to understand the hints of this magical "soon-to-be released wonder of all things that will be 4.1" without needing any more community input?

I'm just trying to understand and weigh my options: invest a little more time now to set up the complicated but powerful RetroPie or live with an incomplete RetroPie for a short time and then soon move to a hassle free RecalBox.

Your work is much appreciated, provided that I can actually make use of it...

[voljega]

@imforumman you know that anyway the built-in bluetooth of the pi is so s**tty that it causes noticeable input lag right ?

So anyway better use a dedicated dongle for bluetooth and then you can use 4.0.2 and wait patiently for 4.1.0 like everyone without ever needing to post passive-agressive messages as if the recalbox team owed you anything

@imforumman whoah dude - don't dare ask questions some of the mods don't like or you get accused of having an attitude!

Rockadicted said only the other week about me " Everytime you post on forum you take pleasure to spit on project and so team members...@digitalLumberjack explained in a post the remaining job to do, but you continue in this same way The next time I will have to take action... I'm really tired with this kind of attitude."

Clearly, anyone is free too read ALL my posts and see if I actually contribute or just moan like Rockaddicted claims...

Their attitude sometimes is, well, I think you can draw your own conclusions from the above.
Again, read all my posts and see for yourself.....

With regards to your post, I don't know if English isnt their first language and something was lost in translation, but I too was puzzled with a few posts.
I thought 4.1 final would be, well, 4.1 beta either "signed off" or with a few minor tweaks, but a few posts from the mods to me indicated further changes / additions. But if that's the case surely these would need tested, hence become another beta? (I hope I've explained that okay). It didn't make sense to me. A beta becomes final - additions or changes....who has tested these?
Maybe I'm over analysing what they said.

I'm the mods defence though they are spot on re server issues.
The second 4.1 becomes "final", everyone whose setup is on auto update will be on their server instantly trying to download huge amounts if data. It will go into memtdown, as the bandwidth required for the thousands of users trying to upload, as already stated, Will be huge.
