Orbit Reader 20 Target Software vB0.05.00.69r47
Date - 28th August 2025

1. New features, Improvements & Enhancements
    1. Resolved an issue where in rare cases, the device was not powering on after a deep battery discharge, even when connected to a charger. The device would only recover after performing a hard reset.
 
Notes:
If the device’s current firmware version is B0.05.00.69r36 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 http://www.orbitresearch.com/support/orbit-reader-20-support/orbit-reader-20-localization-download/

Orbit Reader 20 Target Software vB0.05.00.69r40
Date - 30th September 2024

1. New features, Improvements & Enhancements
	1. Added a menu item, "UTF8" to support reading files encoded in UTF-8 format without a BOM.  It is sometimes difficult for computing systems to guess the format of a file if it does not have a BOM.  This new feature allows users to specifically choose this file type in cases where the system can’t guess the type correctly.
	2. We have also introduced a hotkey command [Space + Dot 1 3 6] to toggle the "UTF8" option
	3. Searching in a BRF file now works faster and for large files also.  It previously used to fail if the file size exceeded 30 MB.
 
Notes:
	1. The localization files have been changed to accommodate the new menu item.  New localization files must be downloaded and installed on the device, otherwise the new release will not work.
	2. Please note that the device settings will be reset to their defaults after the upgrade if the device's current firmware version is  B0.05.00.69r36 or an earlier version
