RE: New firmware for G2 20211126
Opening the Connectivity Kit this morning I saw the message about an update being available. Downloading the firmware files for G1 and G2, I also saw the message about "Could not read 1464 bytes from compressed file".

I updated a G1 calculator first. I was disappointed to discover that the WAIT(-1) bug on G1 calculators is still present, this is a serious bug that I have demonstrated here in the past.

Also noticed that after updating a G1 calculator, re-connecting to Connectivity kit again prompts for update. Essentially every time you connect the calculator there will be the update dialog popping up. Whatever test is being done to determine whether a newer version is available in the firmware folders, it fails.

On a G2 calculator running the 2021 05 05 firmware, there was no prompt to update and in fact when selecting the "Update firmware" option from the right-click menu results in a message that there is no update available. Checking further into it, there are no firmware files in the PrimeG2 folder. This is evidently the corrupted file that was not decompressed, ie the 1464 bytes.

To state the obvious, this is not a good look and a little bit of testing would have discovered these update problems for both G1 and G2. This 'update' IMHO should be removed until the obvious problems are corrected.
