Soon after the rollout of XE12 in mid-December and the announcement that January would not carry an update, Glass Explorers have been anxiously awaiting the launch of XE14, originally due in February. As it turns out, they were to be let down. In a posting to the non-public Glass Neighborhood discussion board late yesterday, Teresa Z discussed that XE14 had missed its February deadline.

The submit went on to express the development team's enthusiasm and quick progress, and to announce 1 enjoyable detail : the Explorer Version will finally go away guiding Ice Cream Sandwich and soar straight to Package Kat! We can possibly count on the enhance to incorporate the positive aspects of Task Butter and Venture Svelte, effectively decreasing the demands on the technique and battery li fe whilst also improving framerates and overall performance. In a natural way, the enhance will also carry with it two a long time value of advancements including : Bluetooth Reduced Energy, OpenGL ES three., better stability, a richer API, and so a lot far more. It can be way too early to be absolutely sure if an architecture-dependent feature like Artwork will make it in, but we will have to wait and see. Again, it really is not clear when this up grade will be rolling out or if it truly is even coming in the following release.
Whilst Teresa emphasized that the Glass staff nonetheless intends to preserve normal updates, the regular agenda may possibly be a matter of the previous. This is the consequence of a lot more formidable targets, like revamping the Glass Boutique ( app keep ) and developing out the Glass Improvement Package (GDK). The assertion also suggests that builders will have a whole lot to look ahead to in the next launch, but presents no specifics. In the meantime, there is a reminder for end users that they can now share directly from Glass to Google+ communities.

Okay, in advance of you go through any further, make absolutely sure youre sitting down. Are you sitting down now? Great.
We know that a good deal of you have been patiently waiting around for the next launch. In fact, your enjoyment and anticipation for our future releases usually pushes us to occur up with a t hing thats worth the hold out. It demands to be very good. And what we experienced planned for February just isnt ready for primetime however. So... weve decided to hold off for now.
[Go ahead, really feel totally free to acquire a minute of silence to honor the fallen updates.]
I know this could be a disappointment to some of you. But its all aspect of the Explorer program. Ended up attempting a whole lot of points. Most of them get the job done out excellent, and some of them require a small more polish. In this scenario, wed relatively hold out to get it appropriate, than release one thing that isnt up to snuff.
Now the very good news. Were being nonetheless going particularly speedily. Since the initially Explorers obtained their Glass considerably less than a yr ago, weve presently been by eight updates 9 if you depend past a long time components revision. The tempo isnt changing and we are nevertheless dedicated to normal updates for Glass even if theyre not regular any more, simply because bigger updates just just take additional time. In simple fact, had been working to go Glass from Ice Cream Sandwich to Package Kat to make the Glass practical experience smoother and just basic far better. This transform will make it less complicated for us to convey you much more beneficial updates and its some thing were seriously fired up about. Builders, we know youre gonna be enthusiastic, way too. But its also one thing that we dont want to send to you all until eventually its just appropriate. (We did flip on sharing to Google+ communities, which was initially slated for this months updates and one thing we know youve been ready for.)
Now off we go to bake a minor much more amazing into the sauce.
At minimum the Glass crew is not compromising computer software top quality just to produce updates on time. However, speaking on behalf of Glass Explorers almost eve rywhere, it would have been good to know this a pair of months ago. In the meantime, I suppose we can formally create off XE14 as vaporware and start off looking at for XE15.
