Is there a newer public Firmware than 19.3??

I was getting ready to turn off the TV tonight when the T4 alerted me there was an online update available. I'm already running 19.3 211010.... as soon as it got to the dialogue to proceed backup or cancel, I cancelled and headed here to check on the latest info, but I can't see anything on the forum that indicates there's been any new public releases.

I was unwilling to go ahead with any changes when I didn't know what was in them, so I can't provide any clearer information I'm afraid.

While setting up another box during the last week, there was no contact with the BW servers, now it seems they are back on line.

Can anyone please confirm:
1) The server status
2) Whether there are any updates available for 19.3 and if so,
3) What they contain?

Many thanks and Happy New Year to all,
cheers

There have already been posts here about this update which just contains picon updates.

To answer your questions in more detail though -

Yes you are on the latest firmware currently available
This was legit
What was contained is as above.

You can always start the update which will give you options including viewing the changes and giving you options to backup or cancel. The list might not always make sense to everyone but should give you a sense of it.

Thanks Gully,

the thing that confused me most was the sudden return of the ability to do the update online - when I couldn't find any posts confirming that and the last FW related discussions were dated 2022, it made me wonder.... Thanks for setting me straight!

By the way, given all the subsequent incarnations the good Dr has had, isn't it time you updated your avatar to - oh, wait, that might not be such a good idea, would it.....

Cheers!
