I've already updated a few QNAP models to this latest firmware without issues.

Many, many fixes that should not be ignored.

Thanks for letting others know.

For the security fixes alone - it's worth updating.

As always, might consider a backup and reboot, just in case

A reboot is a must (most of the systems were running for 60 days or more and QTS warns about rebooting first) and a backup goes without saying - but we have to repeat it for the first timers continuously, right.

The way that it's looking - Q4-2016

Actually, seems to be sooner than later, maybe sometime in the Aug/Sept 2015 timeframe

Some are watching this one closely - while they say it's 4.2, it's more akin to a major release, not a point release... in many ways this should really be QTS 5.0, not 4.2...

...slick new user interface...

Didn't they already re-design it not that long ago, with 4.0?

Can't say I'm a fan of the Mac desktop-alike UI of 4.0, I felt more at ease with 3.x personally.

4.1.4 is very smooth and stable. I like it.

I wouldn't exactly call it Mac like - it's more like a tablet UI (think iPad/Android) - in any event, all the tools are still there, just discovery can be a challenge...

The brushed metal skin they apply reminded me a lot of OS X from a few years ago, in addition to the layer (window) widgets.

Will be interesting to see which look they went for with 4.2.0 (I don't have any QNAP at hand to test it on, all my QNAPs are deployed at customer's offices).
