14.15 update is out.. let me know what it does. dont want any more disappointments

It may be that they don't bother with an app only update.  The system is still on 14.14.

I wish they would provide more information with the updates so I could decide whether it’s worth it to update. The app release notes or ridiculous  

I think I will turn off updates for now and fall back three or four update cycles to mitigate risk of catching a bug on update.

And how do you plan on “ falling back” ?

Fall back as in run my system three or four updates behind the current release. 

How?

You’re not saying his you plan on doing it.. and I doubt you can. 

I think your doubts are well-founded.

@Bumper - with automatic updates turned off, your choice at each update is to stay where you are or update to the latest version, so you can’t stay permanently 3 or 4 behind.  If you decide not to update your system for a while, you will need to stop automatic app updates in whichever app store you use.  Most Sonos updates consist of an app update and a system update.  If the app update goes through but the system update doesn’t, the app will nag you and you may lose some functionality.

As well, there will come a point where you are too far behind and you can’t update from your version to the latest.  When that happens you’ll have to contact support to do  incremental version updates for you (or however they resolve the issue).  And of course, if you aren’t on the latest version, the first thing Sonos will require if you have an issue is that you first update.

Maybe not concerns for you, but definiltely things to consider with your update strategy.

You guys are way over thinking this 😀. I’m just thinking I’ll not update after a big update and wait for a few “bug fixes” only updates to go through before updating and then rinse and repeat. 

I’ve been running auto updates but Sonos has shown they are not testing or not testing adequately and for me this seems like a good way to reduce my exposure. YMMV.

That’s different from what you originally stated, which was always remaining 3-4 releases back. 

Also, I don’t recall a case where significant bugs from a release were not discovered till several releases later.  In fact, I would say it’s going to be reported on these forums within 24 hours or so.  Waiting a week or so to be aware of issues should be more then enough, and then decide whether to update now or wait for the next release.   What you see in bug fixes are usual very minor stuff that only occur in rare situations, and probably already exist in the version we’re currently using anyway.
