To all:

It’s been two weeks so it’s time to make this more public. :slight_smile:

I am pleased to announce:

Platform Alpha Testing for ARMv8 (RealTek) processors on Synology and QNAP is now open to the general public.

It will not be available in the QNAP or Synology package/app stores until it has been formally released.
All updated binaries will be in the two threads which have been created.

The main: Test results and new binary updates

To update all,

There is no additional information from Engineering at this time. I have not received any ‘alpha builds’ to begin preparing packaging (SPK) creation for the Synology packages.
