New beta firmware 7.1.3 released

[Rufus McDufus]

Just for completeness I thought I'd check my copy of 7.1.1 (the file is dated 26 Jul 2014) and the same version number currently available for download on Devialet's site. Yes there are differences (!) but not with binaries. This is really poor of them however to keep the same version number in two different packages.

Code:

$ diff -rql 7.1.1 7.1.1.current/
Files 7.1.1/force_fw.txt and 7.1.1.current/force_fw.txt differ

$ diff 7.1.1/force_fw.txt  7.1.1.current/force_fw.txt

So in the current version available for download they appear to have changed in force_fw.txt from 'OFF' to 'ON' DUET, FPGA, DSPD, USB - whatever that means! I know for a fact USB works in my installed version of 7.1.1 from 26 July 2014 so not quite sure what they mean - default states perhaps?
[edit] - the force_fw entries might mean something like 'force install even if version number is the same' . Seems daft not to just overwrite everything on install if this is the case though.
