I've just cut the first release of the F series firmware. New cool
nifty OFW feature like NANDblaster, USB cdrom support, and other goodness.
But the primary reason is the restructured EC code. Paul Fox did a ton
of work re-organizing the EC code and cleaning up lots of cruft plus
getting the system working under Wine. Many thanks to him.
The only new EC feature is a quick blink before power off. New suspend
code turns off the WLAN LEDs so it was really hard to tell if you had
just suspended or if you were off. Now if you want to power off just
press and hold the power button until you see several quick blinks and
then the LED will go dark. You are now powered off.
But since lots of code was moved around and various header files merged
I expect to find some fallout. Hopefully its not too bad.
