But not sure what they mean.... see below

As this firmware has a new base code it is advised to reset the unit back to factory default settings after the firmware upgrade, to ensure all changes within the firmware are implemented correctly.
It is not advised to restore settings from previous firmware builds
Release notes
New code base 4.16L05 with latest wireless driver

2.52.d1 is the latest firmware release, with a new Broadcom base code, and newest wireless driver. (I would recommend this firmware)

Is there any reason the new code is not mentioned, with a link, in the 8800 announcements?
