That section of the Help file was included as part of the original 2017 release, it's only saying that the BIMobject Tool is a feature to be included in SP1. It's not about any fixes made in SP1.

Is somebody sleeping at the wheel?  The SP1 release notes site is still not up.  Seems uncharacteristic for something seemingly simple to take so long.

It will come.

 

Just got back, bit early today still but I'm pouncing on them as soon as they get in.

@JimWthanks for the list, that will take some time to digest.

 

A question, does the bug tracking system allow you to split up the bugs into generic (all VW versions) and module specific bugs and group the bugs that way in the SP notes? Those not using e.g. VW Spotlight could then skip the bugs for that. It would make it a bit easier to see if bugs relevant for a module were solved or not yet.

Only if they were filed that way and not all bug submissions adhere to the needed rigor to split them up reliably by product. Also, sometimes a bug presents only in certain license types for instance (like that nasty change-layer-crash bug from the initial release of 2017) but the issue is with the Installer or a Core tech like VGM, so the solution isn't classified as a specific module.

 

To sort of guess at the direction you are leaning with that question though, yes I want to eventually make it far easier to see what issues exist and what issues have been addressed without making users read through a huge log like this. I feel that giving people all of the information possible in a digestible or automated format lets them make more informed and efficient decisions in matters related to the software and thus in many cases, their entire work life.

how did they fix VB-137200, at the end of the list??? just interested.

Still a lot of issues though, such as the top/plan 2d, and 3d top views in structural member tools, jumping around the place, and also not all the bits available....

Just out of interest, whereas the main release tends to come in mid-september, do you have a release schedule on service packs also?

It feels that a lot of these tools are still in mid-beta and I shouldn't have upgraded to 2017 yet, but stuck now with open projects.

VB-137200 was apparently related to IFC data checking, I am not CERTAIN this was the case but it does seem like selection was checking for IFC data that did not exist and looping that check a few times that caused the slowness. But, that bug was found in the Beta of SP1 and may never have existed in the live versions.

There is an intended schedule but it very much flexes based on critical issues, OS releases etc. Release dates for SPs can and do change based on the current priorities.

I aways like the way some of the bug descriptions are worded. My current favorite is "VW will be like a freeze..."

 

Oh there are some gems, especially when they go through automatic translation. My favorite so far was: "An incident occurred related to everything there ever was."

Well.... that is still better than if they had written "VW will be like Frozen...." 

 

Had they written that, then I can already imagine when it freezes again some VW users will be bursting out singing:

Let it go, let it go
Can't hold it back anymore
Let it go, let it go
Turn away and slam the door

 

:P
