Firmware numbers changed

[Patrick W]

Anyone else notice that the firmware version numbers have gone back to the way they used to be (without the long string of letters) on the Firmware Upgrade Tracker (Tesla Firmware Upgrade Tracker Web App)

Not in the cars (at least not in my S which still has the long version), just on the Tracker.

I think EV-FW just decided to shorten it. After a year of firmwares using this naming scheme, we've never found a case where a "20xx.yy.zz" release was ambiguous -- the git hash was redundant for customer-facing builds.

That is exactly what happened. @HankLloydRight posted about it a little bit ago: Firmware Upgrade Tracker

If there's a good reason to go back, I will reconsider. But it's pretty clear when there are two firmware releases within the same "week" number, they add a sequence number. So the hash is really redundant.

The hashes are still stored internally, but for display purposes, they are clipped.

I think this is a great idea. It makes the table look a lot cleaner.
