Hi Team!
THE KEMPER PROFILER OS 4.0 WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR FREE SOME TIME IN FEBRUARY 2016
That's what it says on the Kemper home page. And now OS 3.3.0 is released.
Any point in upgrading to that one since 4.0 is around the corner?
Regards
Georg

I know you didn't ask me - but I'll give my view anyway
I'm thinking they will release 4.0 when it's ready (no duh), and a part of that might be that they need an idea of whether 3.3 public beta is stable (since there is probably some of the code from 4.0 in that). If that is the case, then it might be a question of having a sound ratio of downloaded 3.3 FWs, and bug reports. So it will help their statistics if you download and install it.
On the other hand, if your kemper's staibility is critical to you (like for a business, or you have some gigs coming up), you might want to hold off (as always).
The above is purely speculation
3.3.0 is a BETA which was presumably introduced to fix some last important bugs before releasing the major update to 4.0.
With upgrading to 3.3.0 you could help the Kemper-Team by checking for bugs and reporting them to the Kemper-Support.
This way the remaining bugs can get fixed faster.
If you don't want to risk having new bugs (e.g. if you have important gigs, etc.) you can just wait for the release-version of 3.3.0 or 4.0.
EDIT: Michael_dk was faster
3.3 was a necessary release before 4.0 to allow users to revert to 3.x if there are issues with 4.0. Kemper are following good practices in doing this. If they miss the Feb. date by a few days, I can't imagine why it would be a big deal. Making an issue of it only discourages them from sharing their expected release dates. I'd like to have more of that info rather than less, so let's give them some slack. Software's not as easy as it looks.
Thanks guys!

me too.
And me as well. I can wait, but hate being in the dark. Just downloading 3.3 as we speak.
Personally, I believe it will be released when it is still Feb 29 somewhere in the world (and most likely Germany). If they needed extra time I think they would have said sometime in March or April. Is it a big deal if they do miss the deadline? No but there is no indication yet that they will.
25 hours and counting ..........
