So every software that receives major updates was released in an "unfinished state" ? A bit stupid...

These days video games and phones are always half baked, it's an absolute joke.

Back in the day when they couldn't patch video games, they just worked on release.

Glad to see Essential consistently updating their software and camera. Camera performance on the Essential is no longer an issue.
