To better reflect this change and more accurately represent the updates and improvements in the firmware, we modified our method for numbering new firmware versions from a standard 3.0 system, to one that represents the year of its release, similar to the method used by Ubuntu. The new versioning scheme will have the last 2 digits of the current year and an incrementing 2 digit number in it: - $YY.$DD As an example our first firmware in 2016 is the 16.01 (equals to the 3.1 firmware), the next one will be 16.02. The first one in 2017 will be 17.01.
