• Development releases can be downloaded from: http://products.linn.co.uk/VersionInfo/Downloads/Development/
• Developers can report defects via the external trac database: http://products.linn.co.uk/trac/
• Developers can use any and all of Linn's Open Source Software: http://oss.linn.co.uk/
• Releases are based on Software Compatibility Families

The easiest way to upgrade your device(s) to the latest development firmware is to download the development ConfigApp, and enable the 'Show Development Releases' option (Tools->Options->Updates, 'Show Advanced Options' must also be enabled). If you then right click on your device, you will be given the option to Update to the latest development firmware.
