Anyone testing 1.5 and hows it stack up?

[magnus33]

Figure it would be a good time to ask and see how the 1.5 boxee box firmware is .

Does it fix most of the large issues in the present firmware?
Freezing
Browsers crashing?
Outdated flash
Sluggish behavior when doing nothing
Lockups in sleep or for no good reason
And so on

Or does the 1.5 firmware resemble the 1.5 pc/mac/ubuntu which is buggy as hell and a step back?

whats your thoughts?

The 1.5 firmware for the Boxee Box hasn't been publicly released yet.

Version 1.5 of Boxee is currently being tested by Boxee Box Early Access users and will soon be available in Beta. We plan to release 1.5 together with Live TV later in January.

EA testers are prohibited from commenting publicly (or privately) about the release per the non-disclosure agreement they each sign.

Last time i looked it is being tested and its common knowledge that others have gotten their hands on it.

Since where only asking for opinions on it i doubt boxee would have issue with that.

Mind you this is boxee so who knows.

It is NOT in public beta and Early Access users are NOT to post opinions or anything else about the release until there is a public (beta or final) release.

The above is Boxee's official policy on Early Access releases.
