When the next firmware arise after R1BA038,

it's number was R1BA042,


logical sense of increasing number in the name of latest firmware


NOW, latest firmware ( if I figure right )

is 032.... ?? :?

how's that ?

yes,

but why they changed letter instead number?

They begin with B,

and numbers are increased,

and now is D, and number is smaller.... Anyone ?


There is some difference or reason at least .... Or maybe nothing....

it's just normal software versioning scheme, something like:

R1BA034 = v1.0.0
R1BA038 = v1.0.1
R1BA042 = v1.0.2
R1DA032 = v1.1.0

minor changes, fixes, improvements are described in 3 digits. major changes (new features) are described in 2 letters
