Please note that as always there is the standard (TC) s52000tc4_2_0.pkg

Before upgrading please read the release notes!

If you your system runs a software (like TC1.x TC2.x TC3.x) you will need a release key.

Greetings, Martin!

I upgraded my test EX90 yesterday to this firmware. Interesting changes to the web interface. I am on IE7 - does anyone else experience the problem of when they hover over the hyperlinks at the top of the web page to show the options under each header and then go to access one of these options that the pop immediately disappears? I have to hold in the mouse button and drag it to the options and release it only in that area for the pop-up options to remain displaying...

The upgrades to the EX camera look good.

At least it does not completly surprise me. Did you notice the "Supported browsers: Firefox 3.x and Internet Explorer 8"

on the bottom of the Sign-In screen? ;-)

[Andrew Vasel]

Well now that you mention it, I do.

Surprised that there is no backwards compatibility with 7, though...

Just an update that TC4.2.1 is now available, and IE7 support is one of the fixes, which I have successfully tested.
