And for a great many developers who don't have direct access to the Service Marketplace or don't want to abuse their work/team service centre logins for private training purposes? This will account for many OpenSAP Hana graduates who wish to explore promoted SPS6 features in "Extra Knowledge" with a stable Studio environment. This group are your keenest exponents.
With regard to "cannot comment on the stability or otherwise of the various revisions" there must be release notes for revision 62, can you arrange for these to be made available here please?
And with regard to "suggest that you upgrade to the newest revision where possible" can you confirm then that Studio revision 62 is compatible with Hana appliance SPS6 60? Many thanks.
With all respect Myles I feel you unfairly closed the thread regarding the "open letter" requesting a stable Studio environment - it was a more generic plea for a stable IDE. This merited further honest and open discussion It was also an invitation for news of forthcoming improvement or indeed a readily available revision to be made public that addresses the fundamental issues we face. Do we contribute here provided we make no fair complaint?

We all want to make Hana work, to learn and share, to promote the appliance, to sell it to peers, managers and technology groups as a solution. With a (currently) flawed developer tool how are we as developers able to effectively access and utilise this amazing engine "under the hood"? Without an effective and stable developer tool all these wonderful appliance-side features are irrelevant. Developers and enterprises will stop or park their interest and walk away.
Again I hope this is fair comment borne from frustration, which may have been alleviated with readily accessible revisions and supporting communication. Would much prefer utilising my time in learning and developing than seeing hours and days go by unproductively due to issues like these.
Many thanks.
