AVX and Evolution mount upgrades

I simply copy and pasted what was posted to the Celestron beta user forums
here is the link

NexStar+ 5.26.5080
Fixed a bug in the UserObjects that caused some entries to overwrite other entries
Added a routine to fix a PRN value that was getting smashed (made the HC show a blank screen).
Increased the LED ratios on the buttons. (some units were extremely dim). If people think the dimmest settings are now too bright (on the dimmest setting), I would appreciate some feedback.
Added support so that CFM can read the version number over WiFi
Advanced VX
Huge improvements to the boot loader. It is still not quite as good as the ones in the HC's but believe me it is much more robust now.
Fixed a bug in the AVX that might have caused interference with the GPS module and the StarSense camera update.
Underpinnings for an update to fix the AVX + WiFi + NexRemote problem and the AVX + Aux Port Expander + NexRemote bugs. (these aren't fixed yet, but they will be soon).
Evolution
reduce current use when mount is slewing
bug fix: motors sometimes run for half a second at power up
Celstron Firmware Manager 2.0.5115
WiFi updates are back. Turn it on by using the "connections" dialog in the CFM menu. But don't even bother to try it until you read my next post.
CFM will now reset the HC's as well as all other devices when it is done using them and all the devices update successfully. It tries to do it when updates fail too, but I can't make that situation perfect.
Restored the connection assistant (but it still only works for configuring a serial connection).
Fixed a bug whereby CFM would crash if you ran it from a write protected directory. You get a dialog telling you what to do. (special thanks to C8er on that one). (dialog not localized yet)
Disabled the seek and update buttons until the seek is complete. (lets the user know when the device seek operation is over).
If CFM discovers you are using a very old HC, (one without a Pass through engine in the boot loader) then you get a dialog box telling you how to proceed. (not localized yet).
Restored support for the camera on the Legacy SkyProdigy mount. If we ever have an update, CFM will once again be ready.
Many little improvements to how devices are discovered which should make finding things much more reliable.
Tweaks to the User interface.
