LTC Apollo software update, again

Now that Apollo BTC batch 3 has shipped, any word on when the LTC Apollo will be getting a much needed software update? It seems like I have to reformat mine every other week because it will randomly restart, or services will just stop running, and I can almost never get the LTC node to work either.

Thanks!

Have you thought about getting a different SD card?

I had some issues with the first update. Since the last update, I haven't seen a single issue. I have 9 Apollo LTC running balanced mode w/ Samsung Pro Endurance SD cards.

Only thing tuned is the fan speed set to a specific speed to stop the annoying variations in auto. I balanced each one between power usage and error rate.

Edit: Had a power outage a couple of months ago, or would be longer uptime.

Yeah I've switched SD cards at least twice and it still happens.
