MP02 Release note v2.0
We are pleased to announce that the long-awaited SW version 2.0 is now available for
download. We apologize for on-going delays. This version includes a large number of
significant fixes which improve the functioning of the MP02 considerably and leaves only a
few issues unfixed.
We recommend all MP02 owners to update to SW version 2.0 as we are expecting to launch
an impressive new feature in 2021, which will require software version 2.0 for installation.
