I'm talking about the release of the next major version of INAV! So, here we are in December, and not an INAV is stirring, not even a Release Candidate. So what's going on?
In this video we take a look at why the release of INAV 6.0 has been postponed. Which is actually for a very good reason. But we will take a look of some of the features which will be arriving in INAV 6.0 in around March 2023. Be patient folks. It will be well worth it. This will be a release of INAV that you should update all your models to.

![Updating the ETHOS firmware
[NOTE] There is a more recent video on how to update ETHOS here: https://youtu.be/5Y351hjF5ZA
In this first video of the Exploring ETHOS series, we look at how to update the firmware on your FrSky Tandem transmitter. This is a fairly simple process, if a little on the manual side. But theres nothing really too daunting. Maybe in the future well see a simpler process using a desktop companion. But until then, this is the update process.
If you struggle with computers, I’ve recorded a longer, more in-depth video that may help you with this process. Please feel free to watch that video here https://youtu.be/1RfEdgRIwcQ
** Update **
The naming of the SD card and FLASH drive contents is changing. From version 1.0.11 onwards, if you are using a Tandem transmitter (currently X20 and X20S) you should download the TANDEM_FLASH and TANDEM_SD files.
Between 1.0.6 and 1.0.10 they had been named X20_SD and X20_FLASH, which caused confusion. People thought it was just for that transmitter, and not for the X20S also.
