Hello All,
   
  I must say, the question of "Communications"...hummm.
   
  I do wish along with the great "latest delivery information" Tentec posts on 
their website, that they would discuss some of the issues being mentioned here. 
 The Orion II has renewed my interest in radio, and some of the mentioned 
issues here are subjective, but I never hear anything about further Firmware 
revisions to fix any of the referenced issues.  Please, please Tentec...address 
some of your customer's concerns on your website.  
   
  It is an great service making this forum available to potential Tentec 
customers...Thank you!
   
  Mark C.

Mainframe manufacturers often did this. IBM stopped around 1979 when they
had an on line searchable database of bugs. It was employee only until
around 1985 or so. They continued to publish the list of bugs fixed
in a release or update. 

There was no longer any need to publish a monthly bug list, one could
just search (or ask your IBM support person) to do it for you.

Sun also does it.

Microsoft includes a list of bugs that were fixed in a service pack. They
don't list schedules AFIK. It's all publicly available on their web site.

Skype also told me a bug I reported would be fixed in the next release,
but they lied. 

Geoff.
