Title: 1503.2 release
Post by: Dann on April 04, 2015, 06:48:32 PM
My software just got updated with the 1503.02 release.
Where can I find what's been changed from the previous version?

Good question, the release is there for download but no announcement has been made re the release, we need to ask Hexcode

after my gs911 updated to 1503.2 software, I checked for a firmware update and it updated to firmware version 0.215-0.111 data pack version 106

OK thanks for looking, that confirms to me that the 1503.2 is an intended release and not one of the human errors we all make at times, there are bug fixes in the 0.215-0.111 data pack version 106 firmware we tested a little while ago. It looks like a matched pair to me

I suspect Easter and with everyone heading off for  a break that the release announcement somehow was overlooked, I am sure it will appear next week

I'm still at 0.208-0.106 firmware.
When I go to"about gs-991 / check for update", I'm told that there is an update for the interface but nothing happens. How do I get it installed?
The hexcode download page doesn't mention anything about firmware.

You can either install it via the GS911 WiFi web interface or from the GS911 Windows or MAC utility, I tend to do it from the web interface, after you say check for update it then indicates an update is available and there is a button for update now

Hi,
     Still nothing available in the USA, probably tomorrow.
It seems that more Cloud features should be available in this release.

This is strange.
I'm in Canada and got it.
Should be the same in the US
I don't think this is country related at all.

Yes, I got it from the download program. I couldn't see any upgrade via the gs911 program.

I am very satisfied with the GS911. Reading earlier posts on this forum the response to queries were always very prompt and effective. Fail to understand this. Even the website's latest "News" is dated Nov 9, 2014... "Release version 1411 is now available".

Disappointing.  :'(

I raised it with Hexcode and they will put the announcement and release notes on line, they are very busy coding away at the moment so be patient please

I can tell you that in the 1503 version you can use autoscan to use emergency functions for the Husky Terra/Nuda Models as I have just tested it

Thank you for the feedback Wayne. Will be interesting to see the new latest development and ratio of improvement i.t.o. new models vs increased functionality for previously supported models.

I just tested it with the Husky Terra and Nuda, no Series Menu but autoscan finds them and ECU info/fault codes/real time recording are all there

I just tried dowloading the new Downloader and the 1503.2 release. My Norton antivirus program (current version) kicks out each of them.

GS911 Downloader is Marked UNTRUSTWORTHY, MEDIUM RISK

1503.2 is Marked, Suspicious.Cloud.9 HIGH RISK, file eliminated.

Is anyone else getting these errors? Is there a Hexcode response?

We would need to know the Antivirus Software and the data version you are using to comment on it

Once you have that information please lodge a support ticket with Hexcode so they are aware of it and can contact the Antivirus Company

Hi Wayne,
I did post a ticket. I will add a screen shot with the Norton About info to it. My main question is, are those download safe in spite of the Norton warnings? Can you run them through your virus scan to confirm that the download site hasn't been corrupted.

FYI also posted a couple other Wifi tickets for the R1200GS LC and R1150 regarding data accuracy for Lambda Control (binary) and Lambda Correction Factors. I'm hoping those issues are resolved in 1503.2, which is why I'm trying to download them.
Regards,
Roger

Hi Wayne, A little further info. I uploaded the GS Downloader and gs-911-1503 to Virustotal.com. It checked both programs against 57 different virus checkers.

GS Downloader passed all but Symantec (ws.reputation.1)
gs-911-1503 passed all but Rising (PE:Trojan.GenericKD!6.1A47) and Symantec (WS.Reputation.1)

That means it passed many malware checks as well as Trend and Macafee

What do you think?

Antivirus false alarms are not uncommon and when they occur it can be hard for smaller companies to sort it out with the AV suppliers. The first a Co like Hexcode knows about it is when users like us let them know, as much as we would like them to have ESP I am afraid they dont  ;D

There have been some false alarms in the past, even on the android app from memory, we should let them know what you have found

I have run AV over all the current versions here without any problems so I would not be concerned but good you have raised it

Many thanks for the clear replies. Looks like I'm good to go.

For anyone interested, I submitted the 1503 file to Symantec. They agreed it is a false positive and will fix their software to white-list it. I will submit the downloader to Symantec today.

Good to hear and thank you for taking the time to do it, it is usually up to me to do that in my day job away from the GS911

I just heard back from Symantec on the GS911 Downloader. It was also a false positive and they Will fix their detection error.

An update from them around the same time also blocked docx attachments on sending email which corrected a few hours later, perhaps not their finest hour
