Version information

The software installed on your BEASTX System is what we call "firmware". This firmware can be updated (e.g. for improvements, fixes, new features, ...) by downloading a file from the internet and flashing it onto the device. To distinguish between firmware files, each firmware has a unique version number "X.Y.Z", where "X" is the major version, "Y" is the minor version and "Z" is the patch version. You can say that when the major version ("X") changes, a lot will be different between the two versions. When the minor version "Y" increases, there will be a few new features or parameters. A change in "Z" is only a patch or fix that shouldn't be greatly noticeable, apart from some very minor improvements. From our Changelog you can find out the differences between versions. In general it is always recommended to stay on the latest version, as this should give you the most features and benefits.
