The total lack of appreciation is disgusting...
Without Ian's effort there would be NO fix. We would all continue to enjoy TBE, JHook, and CL error forever.
I am amazed at the lack of appreciation and demonstration of total ignorance of the situation.
Ian's requests throughout the project were realistic and made complete sense. You can't have a fix just because you want it, it has to be worked, tested, and released, which these days is very complex.
These systems are not trivial. To be realistic (no intent to insult) most users could not understand the system details if it was explained to them.
Drunken Sparrow was to get DJI's attention and it succeeded. We knew they were working the problem!!! We have no idea how hard DJI was working the problem and obviously none of us had any influence over them. Demanding an early incomplete release when you have no idea what's going on makes no sense.
DJI was virtually non communicative... but we did know they were working the problem...
There is no doubt that it would have been very easy for DJI to keep us informed, weekly, and this would have gone much more smoothly. It is hard to believe they didn't even try. But to dump on Ian is totally unacceptable.
Since we know beta2 is much better than beta1 and has additional functionality (it learns/remembers) it obvious that beta1 was not ready for release. Beta2 was made available on July 14th. That was 14 days ago. Some of that time was our beta tests. We all want an instant solution but get realistic.
