FIX for "stuck on getting firmware info"-nolimitdronez.com

As previously mentioned here on our blog, DJI removed some backend servers causing the older versions of assistant to be somewhat non functional.
In particular they crippled the function for reading the firmware information.

While it was very annoying and not what we really needed to deal with, it also has a positive side :)

We have found the low level way of retrieving the firmware info which actually gives us a lot more details about the firmware than just an overall version number.
As an added bonus, this actually solves the "problem" we had regarding the introduction of mixed firmwares!

Today we are testing the new release and we have also engaged a handful of people in testing out the newest fix for the COM port issues.
If everything goes well, we will release later today, if not as soon as possible depending on the given problem...hopefully there will be none ;)

After releasing the new version we will be back on track and branch back to the original road map.
As a funny coincidence, next stop on the road map is actually mixed firmwares!

Take your time guys. You probably dont know it, but many people are buying dji drones only because you made it possible to remove all those restrictions. Keep ti coming :)

I am sure dji would like to give you some tools 'under the rable' because that way they keep nice image in front of government but also boosts sales because of modding scene.
But its hard to find that channel to comunicate with right person...

Never doubted you. As for those of us who already paid for NLD Mod we need to be mindful how complicated this software is and how fortunate we are to have this option for our DJI Quads. Remember it was who sold us a fabulous product and then crippled it. Without NLD our quads would be less enjoyable. I'm really looking forward to when we will be able to remove our registration info from DJI visibility.
