Well said, and this has been my intention as well with all of my feedback.
Yes I am sure you care and we thank all of you who waited to see it all getting completed. The good news is that it is really complete and now we can concentrate on fixing bugs and improving everything. No more than short weeks and all oshw products will be ācompleteā just like panda is and more.
Have you noticed the tutorials on wiki by the way? James has been doing this full time to convert every single one to cover OSHW and 4.2. There is much more being done that you may not see right away but I am sure you will shortly.
As far as premium offers 4.1 is still supported but 4.2 is not more that coupe weeks away.
ā¦ Man! Past few months have been busy for us. We need a vacation 
About godefroi last post. Maybe it would be a good idead for GHI to hire someone that would be responsible for managing community contributions - and do only that. This person could manage each project GHI would like to delegate to community, gather community feedback (e.g. opinions, patches, test results) and present it back to GHI staff. This way GHI could squeeze more out of the community. Take the IO60P16 or XBee projects for example. GHI has so much to do there is not much time left to keep track of the progress in those projects. People involded in those project have some time that can be used for implementation but not managing. Also since GHI canāt keep track of the changes people involved might feel abandoned (despite the fact we all know that GHI will always help us).
QFE2 isnāt supported in any hardware yet.
oops the first post in this has a link to QFE2. I must have misunderstood that it was supported. Will roll back to QFe1
Edit. Doh! QFE1 installed moving the question to July 23rd Topic
Any way we can use the 4.3 WinUSB driver as the 4.2 version is simply painful here.
Quick update to this threadā¦
The .NET Micro Framework QFE2 SDK is now available for download. This release includes the new WinUSB driver support.

We still need to wait for compatible firmware, however, I believe?
You do need updated firmware for hardware to take advantage of most of the new features (such as WinUSB device configuration).
The updated SDK continues to work with existing hardware as well.

Thanks, Chris!
Super, so QFE2 is out. Any word on when GHI will rebuild the firmware with these bits? Even if it was just a rebuild of the July 23 Beta with QFE2, that would be nice. The BSOD has been a nightmare on 4.2 and I think itās a huge turn-off for new users.

Our QFE2 release includes the new analog output API that we (Oberon) had proposed, was reviewed by the NETMF Core Tech Team, and then accepted by Microsoft as a new standard feature of NETMF.
The Mountaineer updates can only be used for āplain vanilla NETMFā, as the Gadgeteer core is not updated yet to the new analog output API.
Best regards
