CHANGELOG:
v4.5 [April 11, 2015]:
- ATTENTION: This is the last update for this month! All updares will be limited to adding devices and CDAs!
- ATTENTION: You must update to this version, else the device list won’t load. XperiFirm now uses even more compression, to economize bandwidth and load everything even faster!
- NEW: Proxy settings added! Click the new gear icon next to the “Check All” button.
- NEW: All country flags in the device list are now being loaded from XperiFirm’s server, which means if new flags are needed, you won’t need to download another version of XperiFirm, it’s all being covered server-side!
- NEW: The panels aren’t being locked anymore when using the “Check All” button. You can scroll the lists, click on the CDAs as they are being checked and resort the list. This will not interrupt the checking process.
- FIX: Some visual bugs were fixed for even smoother experience!
v4.4 [April 10, 2015]:
- ATTENTION: You must update to this version, else the device list won’t load.
- FIX: Fixed a weird bug that caused a delay when opening XperiFirm and “Checking for updates…”.
- MINOR: Added a few icons for devices marked as for Brazil. Some of them are both for Brazil & Argentina or Brazil & Chile.
v4.3 [April 8, 2015]:
- ATTENTION: You must update to this version, else the device list won’t load.
- NEW: Added support for CDMA devices with no IMEI (but MEID instead). Specifically, Xperia PLAY (R800x) for Verizon which was missing because of that issue.
v4.2 [April 6, 2015]:
- FIX: On some computers, lists might get cached and unable to refresh. In this version, caching is disabled entirely.
v4.1 [April 3, 2015]:
- ATTENTION: XperiFirm’s database now uses compression. Any XperiFirm version prior to 4.1 will not be able to load any of the lists!
v4.0 [April 2, 2015]:
- NEW: Java is no longer needed for XperiFirm; Release list loading is now .NET-native. Which also allowed me to implement these features:
* File size was decreased from almost 300KB to just 267KB.
* You can run XperiFirm from any location, from any OS that has .NET Framework 3.5 or higher (Windows), or Mono (Linux/OS X). No more obscure Java errors that prevent XperiFirm from launching or working properly.
* Since there is no JAR file extraction involved anymore, hopefully anti-viruses stop complaining for a false-positive.
* Release list loading is MUCH faster, almost instant, since no more external Java calls are being made.
* When you select a CDA, the loaded release list is saved in memory until you select another device, which saves time and internet traffic if it’s re-selected later.
* When you use “Check All”, the “Latest Release” versions are being retrieved by the new method (instead of the Sony PC Companion-ish inaccurate method), which is accurate and is exactly the same as the topmost release you get when you select a CDA normally. (No more release versions mismatches and inaccurate versions)
* When you use “Check All”, the operation also saves the release list to memory, which will then be re-used if the CDA is being re-selected, instead of loading the release list again and again.

v3.6 [March 12, 2015]:

- NEW: Mono support for Linux and OS X: Platform-specific methods were replaced with custom methods to support all platforms that have Mono installed. If you’re on Linux and want to use XperiFirm 3.6, first do this in Terminal (this will take a while to complete):

- FIX: Under-the-hood bug fixes, code improvements and better error handling.
v3.5 [March 05, 2015]:
- ATTENTION: I’ve decided to drop the alias “IaguCool” and use my name, Igor Eisberg, as the developer from now on.
- NEW: Manual unpacking for download manager support! Supports unpacking FILE_* or *.bin files manually, as long as the firmware is available for download. Includes file checksum verification. Supported formats for “Manual” unpacking (like any other CPU intensive processes – this one also works much faster on an SSD):
- NEW: Error handling was improved! If you don’t have Java or if it’s corrupted – XperiFirm won’t run and an error will be shown.

v3.0a [November 07, 2014]:
- FIX: Fixed a crash caused by some missing files on Sony servers that messed up with column ordering by Latest Release. (this happens when Sony just begins to roll an update, it’s a big mess of missing files, you’ll just need to wait patiently until Sony finishes uploading their updates).
v3.0 [November 07, 2014]:
- ATTENTION: XperiFirm now targets .NET Framework 3.5 or later to enable some of the newer features!
- NEW: Total UI re-make. More information about each device (like project/code name). Easier to navigate than ever before.

- FIX: A fixed “XperiFirm.exe.config” included, thanks to aphanic.
