Hello
New features arrive due to customer demand, the features which will gain the
most revenue will be done first. If a customers finds that a PM4 suits an
application better than a PM3, then they require the feature for that before
the PM3. All new features required extensive testing and if the test
environment is PM4s, the feature will be developed on them first, and if the
PM3 is the test platform, they will arrive first on that. There are no hard
a fast rules to which platform to develop features for first, they just use
the easiest. A majority of the time this development is done on the PM3
because it is a smaller platform.
Cheers
James

These features are all being addressed and are well on their way to
completion if not there already.
