R20 had the non-fault pingtest.net issue

R24 "fixed" the pingtest.net issue by (I suspect) simply ignoring the floodtest on setting. It may or may not have introduced extra issues but by now everything was getting blamed on the superhub because many thought the packet loss issue was a real problem and had lost faith in it.

R25 was rushed out half-arsed because some idiot started posting about SSH usage on the VM forum and they panicked - presumably because they thought people would be able to hack around the configs or something similar. It wasn't even the R25 that was out with the testers because a bug with wifi channels had been fixed in the general release version. My betting is that it contained lots of completely untested code because it naffed up lots of things.

R26 fixed at least some of the bugs they'd introduced with R25.

R27 is (imo) still vapourware - the supposed sall scale pretest is simply stalling for time because they are so far behind schedule.

I haven't been taking notes and didn't check back so there may be some inaccuracies in my account too.
