all working perfect for me. Did not found any bugs (reported in previous beta releases) anymore.

Also the 'trick' of missing data repair works perfect. Just (in Reports) hold the shift button and click on refresh.

I've updated and forced the retrieval of "missing" data. Looks like that is ok

The weekend inconsistency seems to be solved as well. I'm saying seems, since it appeared to be fixed in the previous build as well, but during the weekend it failed again for the "current" weekend. I'll monitor this over the weekend.

What I'm still missing is a good status indication. Plugwise never tells me that it is still working on retrieving data. For instance for some plugs it shows 0 utilization and 15 minutes later it shows the real utilization. I know that it was still working on fetching data, but it would have been much better if plugwise provides meaningfull back and states in these kind of cases "no data available"

I'm working with the V20091102.18. This one works fine for me.

I still missing the difference between incoming and outgoing energy.

The software says: There is no newer update.

@Wim.
I think that you are not a beta user... are you?

.....that looks like Plugwise has noticed your comment, and changed it right away

[Reinder]

Hmmm, no reported bugs yet??
That sounds hopeful.

I am very happy with this version. Works very stable (even unplugging the stick (of windows go to sleep) en plug stick back in again, en Source keep on working), continuously logging, much better webserver, Solarpanels are supported (produced power!).

Reinder,
I didn't see the message that it was retrieving extra data, might have missed that.

In any case I think that my comment still holds value:

What I'm still missing is a good status indication. Plugwise never tells me that it is still working on retrieving data. For instance for some plugs it shows 0 utilization and 15 minutes later it shows the real utilization. I know that it was still working on fetching data, but it would have been much better if plugwise provides meaningfull back and states in these kind of cases "no data available"

Also, I feel that the update process has a kind of "messy" appearance: Windows (like the window that is doing the precheck and checks if all the plugs are online) are closing "suddenly" and then the upgrade process starts. In the end it works out fine, but initially it looks like things are going wrong. Maybe not an issue for the savy computer users, but very confusing for an average computer user (unless you are saying that the product is not aimed at the average consumer).
