Good afternoon,

 

Any news when BESR V8.5 will be released or how I can obtain a BETA version?

Is there a list of new features or bug fixes in BESR V8.5 available to view?

 

Please tell me there's an option to push the new version out using the manager console!!!!

The next release is not scheduled for some time, but indeed you can get on the beta program for it by going to https://Symbeta.symantec.com  A service patch update will be release here soon, with a software change notice often to follow a week to two weeks thereafter. With the service patch updates at least, it can be made into a new EasyInstaller package that can be sent out as a whole new install requiring a reboot. The key files that  updates in the past tend to focus on, due to their nature with the Windows operating system, even applied separately from a full install would still require a reboot of the system to function correctly.

Will 8.5 fix the issues in this thread -- BESR 8.x issues with OS/pagefile/VSS... ???

 

Thank you, Tom

Seconded.

 

And, how may I obtain it without waiting for the upgrade notification to arrive?
