Talk:Firmware history
Isn't it convention to order release notes in reverse-order so that the most current changes are the first thing you see? If we did that here, it might make it easier for users to quickly determine if they want/need to upgrade. - Scarr
Edit Notes
In "prettifying" this firmware page, I've been using italics for notes about the firmware that aren't in the original firmware release notes, bold for NOTEs included in Cliff's firmware documentation where he notes where prior patches may need to be modified and bold and italic for NOTEs that aren't in the original firmware release notes, but specify where prior patches may need to be modified.
For firmware version 5.00, I'm not sure if the two "To compensate" NOTEs refer to the exact same thing. So for now, both are included.
I've been using one line break between each feature, making each feature a list item, and using two line breaks at the end of the list of firmware changes. An argument could definitely be made for removing the line breaks between each list item feature. I personally preferred the look and readability of a single line break and so that's what I decided to use.
A few of the features in older official firmware release notes (e.g. firmware version 3.03) did not have line breaks in the proper spaces and this was copied into the wiki. That has been corrected.
Also added the word "Version" to each version number since otherwise the Table of Contents listing looked extremely confusing. If there is an option on the ToC to remove the numbering, it might look better and then make sense to remove the word "Version" again.
Debating furiously whether to reverse the order of the version listing to list the latest first. Don't want to mess up the ToC though -- it currently lines up pretty well with the version numbers. And, unlike the official firmware release notes, people viewing the Wiki are more likely to bother to read what they should. (Only saw your comment, scarr, after writing this.)
Please PM me with any messages about my changes on the forum as I do not currently have this page on my watchlist.
