I'm confused by the firmware date for A.09.20.08 being 29Sep2010, yet the later version number A.09.22.12 is dated earlier as 13Aug2010.

I'm assuming the date on A.09.20.08 is incorrect, or basically my question is which is the latest version? the latest date, or the latest version number.

Thanks!

A.09.20 and A.09.22 have a different set of features. The later has portmapping and other features. If you are already using A.09.22.XX, then don't rollback to A.09.20.

Oh, ok - sounds like two sort of parallel developments of customer request necessities - I assume the A.09.22 doesn't have any fixes from A.09.20, but that at some point there will be a release that brings this all together? Is that the way to think about it?

Thanks!

Yes, we do parallel developement. Defects from earlier rev's are merge forward if feature is still available. It is extremely rare that we will obsolete a feature.

Also....
9.20.08 was an emergency fix for 9.20.06 which had a memory leak. Because this was causing problems and because the fix was a trivial one-line addition, we drastically shortened the test time which is why the date is so recent. The code is really based upon the 9.20.06 build which was 5/11/2010
