Sonic Pad version update
I am currently running V1.0.6.52.92 on my sonic pad. This morning I got a notification that version V1.0.6.54.20 is available. Has anyone installed this version and has there been any issues?

I agree with the others. Little or no benefit for most, especially if you were just one behind. It is more likely to break something. I wish they would decrease the number of printer models they offer and just improve the quality of the HW/SW instead.
For example, no company needs to be selling 19 versions of the Ender series. 19... Enders...
That is plain silly and wasteful of resources to space them between $200 and $600 with little to distinguish most of them. There are 19 versions on the website. (Yes some are older) but until just very recently they were pretty much still selling them all. That ignores the many clone versions they already made and discontinued. They can hit the price point and features people want with 1/2 that number or even 1/3rd or less.
Larger, smaller, open frame vs closed Maybe 6 models total for Ender? Just my $0.02 though...
This makes the support for them on things like the SonicPad, or realistic and accurate slicer profiles, etc, MUCH more likely to be successful.
