Releases

Attention!!

Attention Although 8.1 is a minor update, you MUST flash it!

Major releases (like 7 => 8) you must flash, preferably using the menu and choosing the backup option, then everything is restored after the flash. When there is no Hard disk present use an USB stick. 

Minor releases (like 7.1 => 7.3) are updates, so updating will suffice!
