Changes in this release
-----------------------
Boot:
-- Added support for large (2 GB or greater) Compact Flash Cards.

User Interface:
-- New touch calibration algorithm which provides more accuracy and
   corrects for nonlinear error in the touch overlays. The new algorithm
   adds more points to the touch calibration.

Setup Pages:
-- Added new calibration page compatible with the new touch calibration.

Known Issues
------------
-- When downgrading from 2.86.xx or later to a version of 2.85.xx or
   earlier a reset of the system settings is required.

-- When connecting to the panel via USB (i.e. firmware transfer,
   panel file download, telnet, etc) the cable should be
   disconnected *before* a reboot.  If it is still connected
   there is a small possibility that the panel will boot and
   detect a USB issue and reboot again.  This reboot cycle
   will continue, never leaving the splash screen, until the
   panel is power cycled or shutdown.  This is not a new problem.
   It has been an issue with the manufacturers USB driver for
   many years.  However, previously the panel would just hang
   on the splash screen and the panel would require a power
   cycle.  Because we have made things more robust we now try to
   reboot the panel whereas before we did not.  Thus, the error
   does not get cleared and the reboots continue.  A simple power
   cycle or shutdown using the external buttons will clear this issue.
