New firmware 2.1.14596 (2021-10-01)

[Liam Hays]

There's no 20211001 firmware on the HP FTP server; the newest is 20210505, and 20210609 for the emulator. There's also no new information in the release_info.txt in either firmware release. It's strange that they would release it with no info---in fact, where did it come from if it's not on HP's servers? Was it uploaded to hpcalc.org by a member of the software team themselves?

I see no discernable difference between this version and the last one, so it's probably just a routine bugfix update. I upgraded my G2, and its VERSION string shows "Software Version: 2.1.14596 (2021 10 01) Hardware Version: D CAS Version 1.5.0 Operating System: V2.060.650". Unfortunately, I don't remember what the last version's VERSION string was; does anyone else have it? I have a dim recollection of a different Operating System number in particular.
