Hi XG Community!

Soft Release:
We finish the release and think it’s worth getting some feedback before shipping the release to all. So we provide the links to the update packages to you via this forum and you can download the update package and upload it to your SFOS device. We will monitor the feedback in this forum for some time and then ship the release to everyone.
