We make the display, but the Raspberry Pi Foundation writes the RasPi-specific parts of the OS. They change things from time to time in order to make the RasPi work better, and we learn about the changes the same day everyone else does. If one of their changes breaks some of our code, we have to figure out what changed, what's causing the trouble, and how to make our stuff work in a way that's compatible with the latest OS.
We're still trying to figure out how to make our OpenGL code work with the new kernel. But as Einstein once said, "if we knew what we were doing, it wouldn't be called 'research', would it?"
okay... I got it. It is just that when I got the screen for my birthday (back in march) it said the same thing and I guess I thought someone had figured it out by now. Good luck on trying to figure it out. I know I have no clue what so ever as what to do.

If you're running on Raspbian do
sudo apt-get update

to pull in the latest raspberrypi-bootloader package.
Edit /boot/config.txt (if using NOOBS use the recovery system config editor) and add
CODE: SELECT ALL
dtoverlay=pitft28-resistive
reboot and your screen should work. It will be different for things like OpenELEC & OSMC.
