Reverse Sync Back Into Dev
Check if the script update requires newer firmware than what is installed, if it does, then warn the user before updating.
Bump Script Version
Minimum Firmware Check Before Script Updates
Just some wording changes in the UI messages to make the intended meaning much clearer.

…/dev/all-actions-e6ee9d7de3 Bump actions/checkout from 6.0.1 to 6.0.2 in the all-actions group
Just a very minor change to make the logger tag consistent with other add-ons, which users find it easier to add to Scribe syslog-ng (if needed).
Minor Change
Added code to save the most recent F/W update log file. This way at least the most recent remains available to review when deleting all log files older than 30 days.

We have not heard from thelonelycoder so I'm prepping this release. |
News from thelonelycoder: https://www.snbforums.com/threads/i-am-wandering.95672/post-984053 |
Agreed. |
Thanks for that @TheS1R - Happy to see thelonelycoder is still around. We threw some ideas and points at him and never heard back on a direction he wanted to take, so for now we just did the release until we hear more about what he wants us to implement. |
Yes, he is like that — he disappears for a while, and then he shows up with a solution. I would gently poke him if you don't see a response. Back a couple of years ago, my wife, some friends, and I met him for dinner in Lucerne (his hometown) just prior to our Rhine Cruise leaving out of Basel— very personable. |

Dev 1.5.9 as Next Stable Release
What's Changed/Fixed?:
PR: [ #542 ] - Minimum Firmware Check Before Script Updates
Script will now check to see if the current firmware installed is equal to or higher than the required for the script update, and prompt the user if the script update is unsupported with the firmware installed before attempting to update.
To address this request from @Jimbobjay here : https://www.snbforums.com/threads/merlinau-v1-5-8-the-ultimate-firmware-auto-updater.96306/post-980918
Added a note above the minimum firmware config in the script to mention to only lock out 5 versions behind, and not 3 as we previously did, as it seems Gnuton can sometimes drift pretty far behind:
I also rolled back the minimum required a bit to ease off for Gnuton releases as reported by @bidh by updating minimum versions to 5 behind production:

PR: [ #545 ] - Minor Change
PR: [ #546 ] - Save Most Recent Log File
As always, we highly recommend you update ASAP as this includes functional improvements and little bug fixes.
Thanks!
