I can confirm that the firmware update was released today to those individuals who had asked to be included on an e-mail list (I am one). I was advised that the update will be available on the web site on Monday. I use a Mac, but am able to use Dive Log with a virtual machine (Parallels) for firmware updates and map downloads. The update went without a hitch, and my Net Ready now reads firmware version 3.06. I should add that the Mac connection for Diver's Diary is still flaky, and did not work for me after the update. Those on the list were advised that they are still working on that issue. Here is the list of items addressed by the update:
Icon HD Net Ready new Firmware release (3.06)
Bug fixing:
- Fixed bug on time shifts.
- Fixed bug in am/pm time format.
- Fixed bug regarding charge indication in top right corner.
- Fixed bug in dive planner (now reflects water type).
- Fixed bug regarding tank pressure during surfacing and final value in
logbook.
- Fixed date format bug in logbook in am/pm setting.
- Fixed ascent speed bug in logbook (wrong color representation).
- Added “DEPTH” label to depth field in compass display.
