Consolidated list of updates and changes (Travelog: looking back at the journey so far)
I thought I would create this topic as a companion to the two consolidated lists
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you just want to know what software version your box should be running then you may find this YouView software version page helpful!
If you are just interested in a list of channels and whether they are available on any YouView box or just certain ISPs see this lists.
17/1/2019 - retail Humax software version 31.73.10, 3.5.156 (for T2xxx boxes only)
The players within the VOD 365 player are:
12/11/2018 - BT Humax software version 31.69.0, 3.5.132 (for T2xxx boxes only)
9/5/2018 - TalkTalk software version 72.45.145/70.45.146/60.45.145
This update delivers the key features that have been missing from the BT T1000 boxes for some time compared to retail and other BT boxes.
17/3/2017 - BT Humax software version 27.46.0, 3.1.148 (for G4/T2000 and G5/T4000 recording boxes)

See the next post for entries for 2012-2015
The aim of this topic is to draw upon the information in those topics and the official update announcements to present in a single fairly compact form the evolution of the product. One could consider it to be a consolidated list of updates and changes as a useful single point reference topic 
It should of course be noted this is a look at the journey so far and whilst this and the (other) consolidate list topics might at times result in queries, discussion or speculation about future developments (what some might term the roadmap of the journey ahead) that is confidential and is understandably not something YouView will be drawn on. In particular see point 18 in the community terms of use which discourages indepth discussion or questioning about YouView's confidential roadmap.
Introductions over, hopefully everyone is sitting comfortably in their back seats, so lets look out the rear window and see how far we have come, being mindful YouView are the drivers up front and they need to keep their eyes on the road so please do not distract them with questions about the roadmap they are following or 'are we there yet' questions for checkpoints on the way ;-)--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As such this topic (which a number of people have noted they find very useful) is effectively frozen and unable to receive further content

As ever if you spot any errors or know of extra information that can be added to the above just add a reply to the topic and provided the forum software allows me I'll do my best to update the information
No thanks is required or expected but always gladly received and, as per Roy's recent suggestion below, all (including YouView staff) are welcome to like this first reply post in such threads as recognition should they wish to (or like the topic opener which is also possible these days) ;-)
Two big fixes not mentioned in this highly praiseworthy magnum opus, I think, are the BFIS fix and the 'menus over SCART even when HDMI is connected'. I'll go a-hunting and update the thread if I can find dates for these.
Edit:
10.6.0 in March 2013 brought the BFIS Fix:-
https://community.youview.com/youview...
It is there in your list, Keith, but under a rather obscure description, and we had to wring out an admission from YouView that they were talking about BFIS.
17.3.0 in February 2014 brought the SCART menus fix:-
https://community.youview.com/youview...
It just says 'undefined bug fixes' above, but then aren't they all till we press YouView for details?
NB: smart new suit of clothes there, Keith :-)
Excellent.
Does this mean we can look forward to the resurrection of the 'big two' lists in a form you can dynamically update, in the fullness of time?
Interesting to see we have gone from an average of 1 software update a month to 1 in six months this year (and a minor one to fix the recording issues created by the original)
Where are the performance improvements that they promised last year as the EPG is extremely slow now and is actually making users leave Youview for other competitors. What was in the Feb 2014 catch-all "Undefined bug fixes"? Well... At least the BFIS nightmare was fixed last year
Time to upgrade?
Best £100 I've spent for a long time.
On a more positive note you've done a fantastic job Keith in getting all this desparative data and notes together into a single, easy to read list. Good man!
I just want to say, well done on what is a quite excellent piece of work! *Bows down*
Since then, there's been a recruiting drive. Advertising, interviewing, employing - these things take time.
It looks as though "bad cop" 's posts are currently getting more likes.
But I'm afraid I'm siding with the "bad cop".
My inbox has certainly been burning through the day with the subsequent lively discussions so hopefully everyone else has found it helpful too. I'll be looking forward to having something new to add to the timeline in due course, quite when we will all just have to wait and see
I will of course be giving the consolidated list of improvements and feature requests and the consolidated list of bugs and faults a face lift/polish too in due course (but not quite yet although they have had a slight polish of the topic opening post and revised links to ordered lists for those that like those sorts of things).
As ever no thanks is required or expected but always gladly received and, as per Roy's suggestion, all (including YouView staff) are welcome to like my first reply post in such threads as recognition should they wish to ;-)
On a peripheral note, I thought someone might comment on the fact I even put in an avatar for myself after nearly 2 years. It should not be too difficult to work out what it is and why it thus seemed relevant. Whether I'll stick with it time will tell ;-)
