When to expect major update?

Hi,
I am wondering when we get a serious/major update that improves the speech recognition as this is for me the most important. Currently this is not working which makes my homey not very useful. In the meantime my wife and kids ignore homey completely and I am trying to defend it and saying, wait it take some time but it will be great...
Any news backing me up would be great...
Also stability improvement would be great, currently I have a very simple flow to test the homey. It gets dark, the sensor of KAKU detects this and switch on the lights (KAKU) and a few hours later it switch it off. This is day the same. But unfortunately it is not working every day the same. Sometimes no lights goes on, sometimes all but are not going off. Sometimes a few lights goes on. So it varies a lot. By rebooting homey it works mostly correctly for a few days... (maybe an auto reboot function :-))
anyhow, I really hope that you put all the programming effort on speech-recognition and stability. New things are nice but not now as I would like to make a flow that simulates my daily ritme when I am on holiday. But homey is unable to do this...
Good programming times!!

As for speech, everybody has it's own important issues, for a lot of people speech works great. There's almost a 100% succes-rate when speeking through the phone-app. As for Homey's mic, that's working for me too if there's not too much background noise. Quite some people want i.e. a more stable zwave while I'd like better 433 support.
As for rebooting every day: https://forum.athom.com/discussion/comment/21223/#Comment_21223
Works most of the time, even with the radio on (obviously).
The BuienRadar questions like: "is it going to rain" and "do I need an umbrella" work most of the time.
Even from a few meters away!
I'm pretty happy about it, I must say.
