CudaTel 2.5 EA Release

2011/11/10
For those of you who are familiar with and currently own a CudaTel, we tend to keep in good contact with our customers and strive vigorously to also create a good relationship with them. Many of our existing customers have heard through the grape-vine (aka: our support department), that the release of our new 2.5 firmware is very close at hand. As part of the early release process, I have been reviewing a select list of customers and working with them to upgrade their CudaTel. During this process, I’ve collected data to make our firmware more complete and as bug-free as humanly possible. With the help of our newly revamped QA department who spends 23/hours a day vigorously testing (I only let them sleep 1 hour a day). We have gathered over 1400 bug fixes and have added many new features (with the honorable mention of High Availability added to the UI for those customers who have been begging us to implement). If you are among the few and proud who enjoy a good epistle, you can read the following release notes here that have been weeded through for sanity purposes. After all is said and done, our 2.5 firmware is by far the most stable, most lustrous release to date. We hope to keep you updated with more frequent incremental releases in the future. Our next major release will contain a complete overhaul of the UI. Stay tuned for the latest news and updates!
