Apex - Updating firmware

This is sort of my philosophy with computers as well. After the initial firmware updates, I leave them alone.

But maybe I am missing something. Are there some useful features that I should be taking advantage of? I am running version 4.12_5A12 right now. Or should I LITFA?

Here are list of updates the firmware have provided since the one you're using. Pretty much, just updates to support new hardware such as the feeder, wireless modules, fusion and misc bug fixes are the main updates in the firmware have provided. Unfortunately they don't list what the "misc bug fixes" are... There is also a new beta firmware out due to Fusion so will be another firmware probably in next month for bugfixes specifically found while Fusion is in this open beta stage
