I've got a vaguely related problem -- no fresh iNews at all since before the current flood of bug-fix releases. The latest one I'm showing is for the release of 4.1.396.
I recognize, of course, that the team has probably been working around-the-clock with these bug fixes -- but the on-site iNews is more or less up to date.
Some time ago I'd set my INI so the news doesn't display in the splash screen at all, only on request (i.e., through the menu). But typically that summary window of what's been successfully downloaded and installed will mention iNews too, if that's been updated, and I've seen nothing there either.
Want my setup.log too? Or any other suggestions?
Thanks and best,
Mike
