Yes, I agree that there needs to be more work done by NI to list known bugs. But, they're moving in the right direction ;) Hi, Carsten.

Not just the "small" list of known problems they publish. But unfortunately just publishing fixed bugs and admitting some known problems (they'll hit the forums soon anyway) doesn't make a high-quality software. IMO NI has really to work here. NI often introduced very new features with many bugs that were really trouble makers. That happend for LV 7 (which was very stable and usuable with 7.1.1) as well as for LV 8.
