Finally there is news about DSM 7.0 – Shen-Kuei, Product Manager at Synology, announced registrations for DSM 7.0 beta-testing are open to the public. The original message was released on the Synology Community forum and it says the following:
Hi!
DSM 7.0 is our biggest update yet, and we know that while new features and performance improvements are exciting for us and enthusiasts, nothing is more important than stability. For DSM 7.0, we’re introducing a Preview stage that comes before the usual Beta. This is the point where we’re finished with most of the under-the-hood improvements and major changes that will affect our users and 3rd party package developers.
Our goal is to make sure DSM 7.0 on release is even more stable than DSM 6.2. To get there, we’ll need your help!
DSM 7.0 will have three pre-release milestones:
Preview:
- Most major changes completed
- Registration & invite-only
- Participant-only board on Synology Community Open Beta
- Feature-complete
- Open to public Release Candidates
- Final optimization and minor quality improvements (descriptions, help files, etc.)To sign up for the Preview, follow the link below and sign in with your Synology Account. Selected participants will receive additional information on how to obtain the installation files when they are made available. We are currently targeting late January to early February.Synology DSM 7.0 Preview Registration We’re excited for what DSM 7.0 will bring to our users, and we look forward to working with all of you to make it the most stable release ever. Happy holidays everyone!Sincerely,
SK
Product Manager, DSM
