Dear JETI engineering team,
I really appreciate the quick response time regarding firmware updates, especially in case of bugfixes. This is one of the reasons why I myself (DS-16), my family (DS-14, DC-16) and many of my collegues use Jeti Duplex equipment.
But what we all cannot understand is the used "naming concept" of firmware revisions.
Typically a software revision level is used to inform the end user about a new software version, enabling him to decide if this new version is useful or even required for his equipment.
The firmware updates you provide for the Jeti Duplex devices often use exactly the same revision + subrevision level as the previous version, even in case of safety-relevant improvements and bugfixes. This makes it very difficult for the end user to recognize a new version and doesn't comply with my understanding of SW revisioning.
E.g. the current REX receiver update from 1.01 to 1.01 (listed as "1.01e" only on file level basis) would be much easier to identify if it just was named 1.02 instead of 1.01e. On your firmware download page there is no difference visible between old 1.01 and new 1.01 at all. Regarding DC transmitter firmware, there was a similar "unvisible" bugfix w/o revision level change in the past...
P.l.e.a.s.e. make future firmware revisions more "transparent" by increasing at least the subrevision level.
Thanks in advance!
With kind regards &
. best christmas wishes,
