- New Data calendar support with backfill from the SD card
- Support for the Sonardyne™ acoustic modem

Many system performance and stability enhancements are also included, as well as a number of bug-fixes.
This release includes an upgrade of the boot-loader so there is a small chance of serious problems if the upgrade process is interrupted for any reason (although significant precautions have been taken to minimise this risk). It is recommended that the upgrade only be performed when the network and power-supply are both known to be stable.
For this reason, the upgrade dialogue in the Firmware Update section of Discovery will offer the choice of whether to accept this upgrade or not. Users wishing only to upgrade to the latest release 1 build can, therefore, avoid this risk if desired.
- Station code webpage field verification added.
- Serial-to-TCP forwarding added.
- High-performance mode enhancements.
