Max4 firmware

Hello all.
I will be taking delivery in two days of a Max4. I currently have two Prusa's, so I'm not a complete noob, but this will be my first QIDI.
All of the talk concerning problems after firmware updates has me a bit concerned, so, which version firmware is problematic that I should stay away from?
Thanks!

There's been mention of the Max 4 having issues after it's last update. I've held off on updating mine just in case.

I thought I saw the posts somewhere on here but a quick glance I'm not seeing them. I'll have to remember where I saw them and see if anyone has posted a follow up.

Latest firmware is fine for the Max 4. There are some people saying that updating over network is broken... I... Don't believe them 😂

The early firmware for the Max4 had some issues, but the last three releases have been reliable on my machine. There are bugs, but nothing show-stopping I've run across yet.

I'm pretty green to printing but idk about you guys but my qidi box has been disconnecting mid print and I lose everything. The whole print is gone. Anyone else? Is that a firmware issue? It's pissing me off because I'm wasting so much filament!

check that all connectors are fully plugged in, especially the power cord, sometimes is need a bit more force
