Spring lasts until 21st June, no doubt Bluesound will post on this forum when they have any news to share.

According to the "interview/demo video" on YouTube; "It's gonna come out in March....in march or april."

The official announcement as on the BluOS.net website has always said Spring.

Below is why companies do not share road maps with the public.
According to the "interview/demo video" on YouTube; "It's gonna come out in March....in march or april."
The above is just an example. There are other posts in other topics on this form asking the same question, "When is Blue OS 4.0 coming, they said in Spring, March, April, etc." As Seppi said "Spring lasts until 21st June."
Also keep in mind, that when a company rep says something, it is taken by the public as written in stone, and we can see that by the posts that keep saying "they said it will be released in March/April." Never mind that issues may have come up in development or testing or QA, between the time of the interview and the March/April delivery date that has made the release in those months unattainable.
The response from those who want a road map would be something to the effect of "Then they should tell us it's being delayed." The answer to that is no, they should not. If you have to ask why they should not, then you clearly do not understand this post and I suggest you read over and over until you do.
As far as the release of BluOS 4.0 is concerned, I can tell you EXACTLY when it's coming out. THE DAY IT'S RELEASED.

Sheesh, a dyed-in-the-wool fanboi! Wow.

Surely it's better to wait until they've got it as good as they can get it, rather than rushing it and then getting a load of criticism here and elsewhere? There's a while to go before Spring is over and even if it's a bit later than what originally announced, in the grand scheme of things a delay isn't the end of the world.
There may also be commercial reasons too around the timing - we have to remember that they are a business first and foremost, operating in an extremely competitive and unforgiving market.

The whole thing is of no use to you if the customers bail out or buy other
buy other streamers or switch to another provider.I've been waiting for more than 3 years now for the bitrate display that every cheap and free app provides.
Except - "we pass it on to the development department",
nothing came.Simple example:
Should it again become nothing, it was the final with Bluesound.1 -
You could not be more wrong, GGD.
Speaking from experience, MANY software companies share roadmaps with customers. Producing software is an engineering discipline, with objectives, timelines, resources, etc. Failing in this is - apart from exceptional circumstances - a either failure to apply the proper disciplines, or a management failure. Among people in the industry, this is widely understood.
Most successful software producers - think Microsoft, Apple, Oracle, VMware, et al - and even hardware producers - think Intel, AMD, Cisco, Samsung etc. - share roadmaps with their customers, detailing what features will be there and when. I have seen those myself.
If timelines slip, immediate communication with those customers is key. I am sure you understand that if you tell someone you are going to be late they will accept it, but saying nothing and showing up late is far worse.
Communicating is key. It's not rocket science.

The Spring is almost over. When BluOS 4.0 will be released?

You're lucky Aliaxandr, sadly, in the UK, we're still waiting for Spring to start!!

Hi Ali 👋! I think that in the UK this update will not be available at all, since you live all the time in the autumn season 😆😂🤣.

Much more important than the "spring" is the year ...
Maybe the big update will come in spring 2024, 2025,....However, then we will no longer be in the BS family.

Joe ! I generally tend to think that my grandchildren will install a big update 🤣🤣🤣

Hi Bluos Team,
Do you have on your 4.0 roadmap a consideration to introduce a max volume setting for the NAD C658?Reading through respective threads, it seems that it would be a valuable feature to a number of users.
Thanks in advance.

Just realized the feature is NOW AVAILABLE! You rock 😃
Thank you! Can’t wait for 4.0

Well, Spring ends in about 2 weeks so you better get ready :P
Be careful installing .0 versions though... I'll wait until the first experiences drop in. I'm having this annoying Soundbar+ HDMI audio dropout which they refuse to fix, can't have another bug or else my wife will force me to sell all my Bluesound stuff.

Well, now that my BluOS app has completely stopped seeing my Node & speaker, I hope a revised OS can be made available now even in beta. That also would be a terrific way to collect bugs to ensure a trouble-free autumn launch...

Hi Ned
As always - App not seeing the Players is networking-related - please restart your network router, then wait 5 minutes... if problems persist, or return our Support Crew at support@bluesound.com will be happy to help troubleshoot.

Problem solved -- it was my router's firmware -- it has IPv6 enabled in the new version, which caused very odd issues (others found it in their gaming platforms but like me, not on other devices).
So: disabling IPv6 (plus oddly setting APN to manual on the hub) fixed it and I'm listening to my music again!
thanks for the help
