Slate 340 Target Software vB0.09.00.00r68
Date: 1st September 2025

1.	Improvement/Fixed issues:
	1. When window mode is enabled, you can now scroll one display line at a time using the Up and Down arrow keys.
	2. Added a menu item, "Read UTF8 File", to support reading UTF-8 files without a BOM format.
	3. Introduced a hotkey command [Space + Dot 1 3 6] to toggle the "Read UTF8 File" option, facilitating the reading of UTF-8 files without a BOM format.
	4. Resolved an issue where file content was displayed repeatedly when navigating using the Next or Previous vertical display commands.
	5. Resolved an issue in Reader Mode where, with "Compress Space" enabled, navigating backward to the previous character did not move the first character of the next display line to the last cell of the previous display line as expected.
	6. Resolved an issue where the unit froze when saving a UTF-8 encoded file in Editor Mode, under specific conditions: Computer Braille selected as the Read/Edit language, file size under 512 bytes, and Window Mode enabled. 
	7. Resolved an issue where saving a newly created file caused the display to go blank and resulted in data loss.
	8. Resolved an issue where the cursor occasionally became unresponsive, remaining fixed in one position despite using pan or cursor routing keys.
	9. Resolved an issue where the message displayed on the device was incorrect after marking or copying files in File Manager.
	10. Resolved an issue where attempting to create a new folder mistakenly renamed the current folder instead.
	11. Resolved an issue in Windows Mode where pressing Dot 8 after creating a new file inserted unintended content.

Notes: If the device’s current firmware version is B0.09.00.00r59 or an earlier version, following points must be considered:
	1. The device settings will be reset to their defaults after the upgrade.
	2. If localization has been applied, you will also need to re-apply it after the upgrade using the package available on our website at https://www.orbitresearch.com/support/orbit-slate-340-localization-download/
