Any news on LV 2021 SP1?

[ConnerP]

I am eagerly looking forward to make the jump from 2017 to 2021 for multiple reasons (especially interfaces from 2020!) but the news of the auto-routing bug led me to put it off until SP1 releases, because updating software is a pain at my institute and I would prefer to spare the back and forth with our IT department. It was mentioned by AristosQueue in the linked thread in June that SP1 should be released in January, but I have not seen any further updates. Is SP1 still on track? Is there a target date already?

There are other reasons for waiting for SP1 -- the myRIO community has not had support for using this highly-capable RIO device since the myRIO Software Toolkit 2019 was released (in, you guessed it, 2019).  Rumors of a "Spring 2021" release date makes hope "spring" eternal ...

Of course, that would point for toward an April or May release...

For those in the Academic market, who love the myRIO for its flexibility, reasonable (student) price, ability to have a single peripheral that does A/D, D/A, DIO, SPI, I²C, FPGA, Real-Time, and runs LabVIEW, an extra month or so versus the abandonment of the Academic and myRIO "markets" is a minor inconvenience -- we've been waiting since LabVIEW 2019 (fortunately both 2019 and 2019 SP1 work with the myRIO Software Toolkit 2019, and provides links to LabVIEW RealTime needed to do useful things with this device.  I remain an optimist.

"Official" word is Q1 which lasts until end of March. Even if the Release actually happens in that period this still could mean that widespread availability for downloads is somewhere in April. And it has lapsed in the past by a month or two on occasion. So I would be hopeful but definitely not start holding my breath for it right yet. 😀

AristosQueue said that it's scheduled for January here:

I am currently manually checking the NI update service and the website daily, because I am unfortunately working with 2021 and it's driving me crazy.
