I´ve been informed that B&O, from now and onwards, will publish release notes on their supportpage.
See the below for A6:

Good to know and not that much work for them to publish them. This will satisfy a lot of users who want to know what's included in updates. I don't really care so long as it improves things!
Dave.
Now the external IR-receiver is working officially. I'm a bit confused about this sentence:
Optional IR-receiver to operate your BeoSound Essence with BeoRemote One. For remote control operation, see the guide for BeoRemote One.
Does this means the Beo4 will not work anymore? I have already an IR-receiver connected and it works well with the Beo4.

The ir-eye conected to the Essence 2nd gen has been a working solution for a while now.
Since they were still working on the software (to support it) it hasn't been made official untill now.
By the way - could you describe how (which functions/commands) you use it with the Beo4.
P.S. I see no problem in using the Beo4 instead of the Beoremote One.
There might be some things, that are easier done with the One, though - e.g. not every Beo4 has a 'join' entry....
In the FAQ's of the Essence 2nd gen there is a list of compatible commands for the Beo4 and the One

There is a tv - and there is a BV

Mostly I use the Beo4 to turn on the Essence with the command RADIO (TuneIn), use the VOLUME and STANDBY to turn off.
I have a wheely remote which is on the wall. Spotify (Beo4 command N-MUSIC) starts in any case after the Bluetooth connection is established.
Thanks!
those commands are rather few. But if it is, what you need, you'll be fine with the Beo4.
Have a look in the FAQ's for what is possible.
If my memory serves me well (?), there are some (new) possibilities with the ir-eye direct functions.
Pushing the 'Join' button now toggles between the active sources on the multiroom setup.
(I suppose, that the Join' command on Beo4/One can we used respectively.)
The n.music command on the Beo4 will turn on Spotify ;)
"You think we can slap some oak on this thing?"
Nice! It's a welcome change from B&O to be more open in terms of documentation. Same goes for the superb technical documentation of the Beolab 90.Better documentation can save a lot of trouble in B&O environments. :-)Thank you, B&O.
