We are testing and fixing bugs, but I assure you that my team (including myself) is working full time on Eddie. We hope to release a public beta version during the first days of September.

Because it sure feels like they have, all we're hearing is it's "coming soon", but there's never any detail of what's coming or exactly when... I ask because the staff may be seemingly unaware that Eddie is completely broken on Ubuntu 18.04 and seemingly no care is taken to ensure a software that hasn't been updated in almost a year works. It's not okay to not update your major software for almost a year - at least issue patches and updates whilst working on the newer version.

Glad you resolved your issue/problem☺️ What is the IP on No-IP DUC app/icon on your PC server? If you see an AirVPN IP case solved.

What is that? The first time I hear of this. OMG....that's "obsolete" "encountered issues" as in configuring a software firewall too difficult?

That's not the issue. It's the way you have configured your PC server.(where you have installed EMBY). Take a look at GUIDE - EMBY(below).

If you use Eddie App on your PC server; then it probably will not work. You need an "Allow EMBY rule". Whitelist EMBY through "Eddie/Firewall". What firewall do you utilize and don't say you have only "Windows Defender"?

schwabe explained what was required to get the code merged upstream, you decided to close the PR as can be seen here. This would be the same if you were submitting a patch to the kernel, subsystem maintainers have requirements and they themselves have requirements to get it merged in the next release branch by Linus or Greg for stable. So as it turns out, he told you what needs be done and you refused. Whether his requirements are suitable is not for discussion since it's not your project. You may have requirements for PR's on Eddie branches as most OSS does. You need to comply or you can just maintain your own fork which is worse for the community as a whole. To be clear, you may see this as "see, this guy is stopping us!" but instead it's "hey, we didn't comply with the requirements of this software to get our PR merged".

Thank you to Clodo and the staff for replying. There's no harm in communicating with the community: "hey, here's the status of Eddie". Maybe Clodo is the sole developer of the desktop version, maybe there's more than we're aware of but taking the time to talk doesn't take that long. Also, this might not be possible, but I'd love to see development builds released with the source code (if that can be built into the workflow) so the community can help you and get involved (maybe that might help or hinder, but having many people poking around, finding/fixing bugs isn't a bad thing). Of course, scaling to deal with that can be a process in itself (handling PR's, issues etc). But at least talking about the new version, the new UI, screenshots, progress reports, that can satisfy users (like me and some above) and keep them engaged. If you fall off a cliff entirely and disappear...Well threads like this happen asking "what is going on?". Air provides a superior service and client, I want to give money for the development of these clients (for Clodo, ProMind and others) because they're what I use and rely on, on a daily basis, and are by far the best clients for OpenVPN in existance. So please keep us posted, you may not realise it but some invest for exactly this reason, you're both a service provider and a software developer, I'd love to support that directly if you need more people (but I am sure finding good quality developers is not so easy. Many many people rely on code written by Clodo/ProMind so it's not an easy job).

Hi, I'm sorry about the delay on Eddie development, but in the next release we changed all source code from the ground up, to separate what needs elevated privileges and what not. So we are re-testing all Eddie features. For example, in the next release UI runs as normal user, and this can fix or cause worse issues in different Linux distributions. Re-testing all major distributions requires a lot of time. Anyway, I hope to release it (as a beta version for feedback) when all supported OS (Win/macOS/Linux) are ready for use. This is related to the next release of 2.X branch (the same UI you know). In the meantime, we are building also the new universal UI for 3.X branch. I hope we can release the new 2.x version as soon as possible. I hope I can give you a date in a few days. Sorry again for the delay.

You may be overreacting a bit. For example, pfsense stable is still on openvpn 2.4.6 and another VPN provider I use is still using 2.4.6 with their app. I don't know why that is but it seems to me that devs aren't in a hurry to move to the 2.4.7 version.

How strange, I see the staff are replying to other threads, but the one that's critical of them...Silence... I mean, it's clear for all to see: They've entirely given up on Eddie for desktop, they KNOW it's broken and they have willingly ignored issuing patches instead favoring broken software (If you can install Eddie on Ubuntu 18.04 desktop then great, because when it loads for me it just crashes). So great job Air, thanks for supporting the people who fund your business. It's great to see you'd rather get involved with political nonsense rather than making your own damn software functional. ProMIND does an amazing job (although the Android version needs some improvements), so what is Clodo doing to actually get the new version out there? Because we're a month from 12 months of NO UPDATES. 1 year. NO UPDATES. Jesus.

I agree, Eddie is what brought me here over other VPN providers. I have to use another VPN provider entirely on my Macbook because Eddie simply does not work. I always liked how open and communal Air felt but I know a lot of us feel our issues are currently being ignored.

I asked support directly about the state of eddie on Mac OS and they just pointed me to the experimental releases which is knocking on a year old nearly. The experimental release doesn't fix any issues on Mac OS. I agree with @airnoob that not updating your software for over a year is bad practice even if it 'works' and for a VPN company this is unacceptable. IMO I think they have got side tracked with Eddie for Android and put Eddie for PC on the backburner. Either way I for one am getting impatient with the lack of updates on this 'new eddie' they've been talking about for months now! An update would be very welcome.
