Available today (for the UK at least (Europe also?)) is v1.24 of the firmware for the LS-XHL. The previous version of the firmware, v1.20, came out around July last year.
The only updates stated in the accompanying Release Notes state:
* Ver.1.24 [Jan. 25, 2010]
- Solved the problem the file size over 4 GB was not displayed correctly when connecting via FTP, and fixed the problem the time stamp was displayed in UTC
Is there any official advice as to whether this firmware should be applied, if those two problems are not being experienced?
Thanks
I am in the US and to be honest, the upgrade was useless if you don't have any of those problems. It seems buffalo read all the problems people were having and created a firmware update to fix none of them. They decided to fix the problems that affect the minority of the owners.
Unless there is something in specific that isn't working properly or you are missing features I wouldnt recommend upgrading. My philosophy is always "if it isn't broke, don't fix it".
DTCP-IP was updated as well; the new version is 1.22-20100113.
