Let me get this straight. You ran out of patience, grabbed a beta, have issues with it, and D-Link is at fault?
You got me completely wrong. I can temporarily live with small bugs like e-mail alerting (I was fully aware of that and I'm not complaining about that). But I needed some improved functionality from 1.06 (FTP SSL, Unicode for FTP, UPS Support, improved UPnP, HDD spin down issues). I can't wait forever (especially for fixing security holes). There are more people like me on this forum.
As for 2 bugs I've described (network shares with national characters and BT security hole), treat it like a beta tester rapport (but I will seriously complain if they won't be fixed in the final 1.06 firmware
).
As others have reflected on here, it's better to have firmware released that is as bug-free as possible which has been thoroughly regression tested by a professional staff than to get something that is not complete, not fully tested (...)
And how long are they going to test this firmware? A year ? It's insane. For example security holes in web interface were discovered in May (D-Link in such situations should
immediately release a patch).
But if complaining makes you feel better, don't take it out on D-Link; you're the one who chose to buy their product
Who knows if it won't be my first and the last NAS from D-Link. I'm still angry about that EXT3 thing (they removed the very important feature I've paid for instead of fixing it). Maybe I'll stick to QNAP NASes in the future.
