Review user-visible Lockbox firmware changes, known cautions, and support guidance by version.
User-visible releases are listed newest first. The source notes did not include verified release dates, so none are invented here.
The Lockbox does not currently expose a complete public release ledger with dates, compatibility, and rollback packages. Before changing firmware channels or reinstalling a version, contact support@researchanddesire.com.

Known issues and recovery
If a documented feature does not appear, record the version displayed on the Lockbox and contact support. Do not assume that a lower version is compatible with current dashboard behavior. Follow Flash or Recover Lockbox Firmware only when support identifies the correct package and whether local data should be erased.
