Hi Qiuyun Yu ,

 

The discussion here is related to the initial commitment of an update of 3 times a year (i.e. every 4 months). So this is not really an idea but rather a commitment by Riccardo Muti!!

 

The idea you are referring to in the link is a suggestion to have an update more frequent than 3 times a year!!

 

Quote from Riccardo Muti:

"- We plan to release Power BI Report Server “multiple times per year.”
  - Initially, we've planned for about 3 releases per year (in other words, on average, every 4 months).

"

 

So all customers that have already adopted Power BI Report Server for their On-Premise architecture are expecting an updated release sometime in Feb 2018.  

 

I hope that the issue is clear now :-)

 

Thank you

    Hi Ccparkhill,

     

    Thanks that's a useful link that I was not aware of.

     

    But what we are looking for is a road map for future releases, and specifically a confirmation from Microsoft management that the Report Server is going to me updated on the 3 to 4 month cycle that has previously been committed to.

      I wonder if there will be a Preview release as there was with the October release, which was released in August. If the next release follows that pattern then we are at least a couple of months away. As you say, there is no road map detailing what might be included.
