Hello everyone,
First of all, I want to apologize for the late response.
As Svetlana told you, unfortunately, the official release of the 2.2 was planned at the same moment I was unavailable for personal reasons. That happens, and shouldnāt be considered as me ignoring your feedback, nore think it was āorganizedā on purpose in such a way.
So, regarding the release of this version, without things that were previsouly announced, do believe that I sincerely understand your disapointment and how raging and misunderstanding this situation is.
What I can say to you, simply, is that all the features that were announced to be part of this 2.2 release were indeed ready, even some additional ones.
Thing is, sometimes, last minutes drawbacks can happen.
So it wasnāt with a light heart that we had to postpone most of what was originally planned to be released, and served a 2.2 with minor bugs fix and, at least, the support of the latest iconic mirrorless on the market.
As far as Iām concerned, since Iām personnally involved and asked to give explanations, I can assure you that I did my job.
But unfortunately, these last minutes turns were not expected at all, and we couldnāt avoid that. Really.
We deeply regret it went that way, as weāre not accustomed to promise things weāre not able to provide.
And thatās how I am too, as a person.
We really want to make this software the best possible, listening and discussing with all of you, testing and keeping on improving.
But please, be kind and wise just a moment and donāt focus your anger and flaming on a single person: Iām product owner for DxO PhotoLab. Corporate decisions are taken at a company level. As PO, Iām part of the process but not accountable for the whole result.
I donāt want to stop discussing with you, but this episode leaves me a bit uncomfortable, as it has spread beyond the workās field and seems to become very personal.
Iāll take this for lesson, and weāll probably modify the way we communicate in the future to avoid ending in such situations.
Thank you for your comprehension.
Best regards,
Fabrizio
