What that means is that software that was been signed with a new certificate that hasn’t been seen before will trigger the “Windows protected your PC” message, similar to the screen shown for unsigned software. Normally this isn’t noteworthy, however Microsoft Defender SmartScreen, the system on Windows computers that protects the users from a wide variety of issues, operates on a “reputation” system. In addition, our code signing certificate for Windows expired recently, so this is the first release of the software with the new certificate. Hardware revisions 4 through 10 are just this - slightly different FPGAs. Every time we change part number, we need to generate a new bitstream for the part, so a software update is required. All the FPGAs we bought are in the same package, but we had to buy a wide variety of speed grades and densities, since no single part number was available in the quantities we needed. Very few FPGAs were available from any source at any price, but we managed to pull though by purchasing a wide variety of Lattice ECP5 FPGAs. If you’re curious, at the start of the supply chain shortage, Xilinx, the vendor who makes the FPGAs our devices previously used, completely shut down production of the Spartan 6 FPGA line.

That’s mostly behind us now, fortunately. If you’re wondering what’s new, this hardware revision is another small change in a long list of small changes to deal with supply chain issues. This release includes support for the newest hardware revision of Logic Pro 16, revision 10.0.0. This is a pretty small release - most of what we’ve been working on is still under development and not ready for release.
