Orbit Reader 20 IN Target Software A1.02.00.20r09
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  A1.02.00.20r07 or an earlier version
