Am I correct to assume this version with the items listed below is not released yet?  These are future items to be covered in the next release (potential labled 7-2-2012)?

Sorry I have gotten behind on this. For Clarity I removed any posts that where not actual firmware upgrade items.

There where a few firmware releases between the last on posted and the upcoming release on 7-2-2012 below are some of the added functions.

*Some Graphing and Logging changes for clarity and functionality
*More changes to Hydro mode for greater functionality
*Fans turn on at a higher temp and also turn off 5 minutes after the classic goes to resting
*Added ModBus port adjustment to MISC menu
*Added Build number to the firmware version status screen
*Clipper mode has a absolute high Voltage set point now
*Added Dairyland wind power curve and some other curves as well
*Fixed issue with Lifetime KWH
*Changes to the EQ menu for clarity
*Added DC clipper mode for Midnites DC clipper

No sorry about that anything you see here is now in the Classic. I missed a few and could not remember the date of that release of the top of my head.

MidNite Solar Beta Revision 1070
Beta Released 10-2-2012

Revision 1070, Released 10-2-2012 Includes:

    Modbus password Jumper initialized for security
    Made changes to Absorb Timer as well as added VariMAX
    Amp Hours functionality
    Added the missing 1 in the T-Comp menu of the 250KS
    Fixed Solar mode to eliminate the stuck at battery voltage issue

If you experience any unusual behavior please try a "Quick Start" by first turning the battery and solar power to the Classic off. Next, turn the battery power back on while holding the Left and Right arrows. Hold the arrows until the first "Solar, Wind or Hydro" screen pops up. Follow the on screen prompts and continue setup. Note: This will reset all settings to factory defaults. You will need to reset any custom settings such as Aux 1 and 2. You may want to write these settings down for reference prior to resetting the Classic.

Stay tuned I am testing some Networking code here that allows Float and EQ and what not to be coordinated. It also allows one Battery temp sens on multiple classics as well. Should have something in Beta by the first of the week.

you guys have both the production and beta firmwares labeled v.1070 but with different dates in the firmware page

Yes Beta firmware will carry the old rev number. We do not assign new rev numbers until the firmware is put into production.

how can you have a production and beta software as the same version at the same time, once it is production it is no longer a beta..... no?

You're right !  It has to change slightly just to change the rev number.

That's' OK because there are still changes being made and another beta to check out soon.

This one was mainly for checking out the networking software and the VMX function.

Just got my Classic 150 in Today (good riddance Outback ::)) and I need clarification. The Wizard has been removed and I do not need to input Latitude and Longitude of my location so the controller knows when Sunup and Sundown occur.

Correct. The Long and Lat did not do anything.

Ryan..

It would be great to see this thread with updates on the firmware. It seems a little dated.   :'(
