Welllllll... Didn't know that. I do not run SolusVM but Proxmox for our internal VMs
What a scummy move. I'm assuming the kid they hired to do marketing was getting pressured to actually show up to work and had to look busy for the 8 hours he was there so he came up with this plan to blast out an e-mail with no real news to justify the $50 that they paid him this week. Since they spent that $50 on marketing though, they had to slash their development budget in half meaning they could only pay for maybe 10 lines of code for SolusVM 2.0, it's a sad sad day for SolusVM users.
Those 10 lines were upping $ Id $
This thread was a roller coaster
We've been on mainline for months now.
Pretty sure I'm just gonna go to Virtualizor now. The SolusVM delay memes were hilarious before I offered VPS, but now I get to feel the pain of using abandonware with the rest of you guys.
Love SolusVM support though - the other day, they literally told me to just "Google it" when I was trying to resolve an issue with their software. 10/10.
OnApp is a revolutionary SaaS provider: Sarcasm as a Service.
Every time I see one of these threads I want to spend the 5 or so hours it would take to release a better control panel but I have too many other projects right now.
Business going strong eh!
It's been really good. My dad keeps telling me we'd be even better off if I licensed out Wyvern and based on these kinds of threads appearing regularly I don't doubt it.
I agree with your dad. You both are smart.
Why Vern?
As soon as I saw the email, I realized they were throwing a bone
This has got to be my favorite after pointing out solusvm stores ceratin system passwords in plain text:
Yes.. L3^
Maybe Level 1, 2 & 3 is the same person with different login ID
How do you reply to that, other than "no shit".
pretty much, but first you have to read it 5 times in disbelief and think to yourself "wait, am I the asshole here?"

Fits better.
The higher up the chain, the snarkier the response. It's required to appear to be an actual technology company.
Nice, I can't read each points.
Too many improvements.
or any of the replies evidently.
I respect everyone's opinions here. There was a lot of really good feedback discussed regarding our marketing, and I'll be using that improve our email communications.
There was a bit more that went into the release other than simply moving 1.19 from mainline to stable.
Those that were not included in mainline previously:
Understandably this was not our largest release, and this clearly frustrated some people. Hopefully others did find it helpful being alerted to the newest stable release. Likewise, that as we improve our communication, you do continue to look forward to hearing from us.
Octover 2016 - "it will be released by the end of the year"
November 2016 - "just a few things to fix with the installer"
December 2016 - "it is complete , it just needs a code check"
May 2017 - Preview given to V1 with a new skin (that some of us saw a very similar version of a year before Terry got involved and called it 1.5) with only basic OpenVZ support and called V2 preview
June 2017 - "It will be ready by summer 2017"
End of summer 2017 - Still about 6+ months of work to do and a version update to the stable branch along with a couple of very minor things and some things that were done months ago and reported years ago.
You can fluff us all you want, it is quite entertaining to see how much hot air a company can produce without delivering on anything, meanwhile, the only person with any real control over solusvm is like:

Although everything you've said is true and accurate, I do appreciate that Terry is trying. It must be really defeating to be in his position with development missing every deadline and never seeming to have any real estimate on effort required to release, I do not envy it.
I heavily suspect the problems are either management or development (or both) problems. Terry is the sales guy, and he does seem to get a lot of shit being the public face of solusvm, despite the release schedule problems almost certainly being in other departments of OnApp.
Yep, he certainly has brought some cohesion, at at least it 'sounds' that way.
Yep, he wanted it that way though I gather, anyone more senior than him has ran away and left him to sink or swim by the look of it.
I have spoken with Terry on the phone briefly, nice guy, but this is pretty much informal business.
The reality is behind the scenes, Phill holds all the cards, as Phill no longer has a voice Terry is our only outlet!
But the really important feedback was everything else.

There's a missing GIF being embedded on the page when sending a mass email:
l-o-a-d.gif Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found)
That'll be fixed in 1.22.
I assume you mean 1.20.03, which will be released in to the beta branch first in 4 months after they become aware of the issue (avg time to get minor fixes in to beta).
4 months after that it will be pushed to mainline (the avg time it takes them to take on board absolutely no feedback whatsoever from beta then update the beta branch to mainline).
About 4 months later they will then renumber it to 1.19.01 stable, which coincidently will coincide with summer 2018 when they yet again fail to deliver solusvm v2 but palm everyone off with some tweaks they did a year ago instead.
My best guess would be that the dev's have just outsourced their jobs to China so they can play pokemon go all day instead.
