Stable release (2022 02 28)
Posted: Mon Feb 28, 2022 7:52 pm
We believe that the current codebase is as stable as possible and is OK to be released as a Stable version.
The entire stable release folder can be found here downloads/releases/MK22/R20220228 this includes source code and build tools etc
The firmware is identical to the last Release Candidate, but its package in a zip file for legal reasons so that the license and readme file is distributed with the firmware file.

The CPS is not part of the firmware release, however the Stable version , and previous Release Candidates require the use of the updated CPS
So the new CPS has been copied to the CPS folder
downloads/CPS/Latest
We are aware that removal of the CC Filter , so that a Stable version could be produced and released, is not ideal for some people, so we plan to return this feature if we can make it stable.
There are also some new features which are in development stage in the MD-9600 firmware, which will become part of the OpenGD77 firmware when they are more stable.
Thanks, to Daniel F1RBM and Colin G4EML for all their hard work with the firmware and software development, and to the many beta testers.
