Thanks for the link Jim.

Upgrade done.

I see it took 4 tries to get it ready for the masses, v2.0, 2.01, 2.02, & now v2.03!

Would you prefer version 2.00 with some bugs not having been fixed before delivery? I rather prefer downloading firmware for my 1D-X, which happens to be not an X.00 version, because the software revisions imply that some corrections have been made after running version 2.00 through QA.

Please note that in software development you cannot expect people to work on a version 1.9.Y and then to rename it to version 2.00 after endless testing and corrections. It is necessary to always expect something unforeseen, so at first developers target something like in our case a version 2.00 and then they make corrections after running the software through QA tests, resulting in software revisions.
