Hey fellow Push users and abusers,

Can someone confirm the current firmware offered via WiFi upgrade on the Push Standalone release branch?

I hit the purchase button on the 20% saving during BF week and received my fabulous Push Standalone last week. Upon first use, it upgraded the firmware to 1.0.71 and I connected it to Live Suite 11.3.13 on my Mac Pro and had a fun few days trying all the shiny new features.

Yesterday I signed up to Beta Test programmes. My main incentive being trying Live 12 beta on my elderly Mac Pro, but I also signed up for Live 11 and Push 3 beta testing. I'm currently updating my Push with 1.1.20b6 but also downloaded the latest version on the release branch, which is 1.1.2!

Now I'm confused why mine was on 1.0.71 when 1.1.2 is available for download and manual update. Should I have received 1.1.2 over WiFi upgrade? Is there a bug in older firmware stopping it upgrading?

I'm interested to hear if your Push has upgraded to 1.1.2 over WiFi?

You're either running the release version or the beta one.
The current beta version is "Push 1.1.20b6" (which is firmware 1.4.0) and is only available to those who signed to the P3 beta program, which you did.
Switching between P3 release and beta versions is done manually. You should definitely check the detailed explanation available on Centercode.

Thanks for the response but that doesn't address my questions about the firmware version offered over WiFi on the release branch

I've now manually loaded beta "1.1.20b6", then release "1.1.2" and can confirm release "1.1.2" results in firmware newer than what was on my Push before I performed any manual updates.

This morning, my Push had firmware 1.0.71
I loaded Beta branch 1.1.20b6, which gave Push firmware 1.4.0
I loaded Release branch 1.1.2, which gave Push firmware 1.0.73

Why was I not offered 1.0.73 over WiFi? Is it functionally different to 1.0.71?
