Default Flarm IGC files on non-IGC certified Flarm?

As an uninterested party, I've got to ask:* How is this update
information requirement disseminated?



The reason I ask is that, two days ago, someone at Moriarty told me
that he had to figure out why his Flarm didn't work.* I told him
that I'd seen on RAS that there's a mandatory update required.* I
would have thought all owners would have been notified.


I was notified through the PowerFLARM newsletter, by e-mail, Feb 2nd at 4:34PM. If he's not on the list for the newsletter, he can sign up through a link on: http://www.powerflarm.aero/index.php...ge-and-support ; there is also a notification on that page of the mandatory update, and links to the latest firmware (so far, no update is there - but I live in hope). There is also a link to the latest Butterfly Display software (therefore, a good page to bookmark).

In the manual, page 23, it says there is a mandatory update as of 31 March 2015.

I read somewhere they recommend reinserting the firmware annually, but for the life of me, cannot find where it says that.
