Yep, running it, all ok so far (after I made a few subtle TAP mods...)
The Topfield forums and the ICE forums detail where to get it from.

Tony, I have been overseas for 3 weeks and got back yesterday to discover this new firmware. I installed it tonight. From what I can tell, you have only updated TimerExtend (from 8.4 to 8.5) since the time the new May-05 firmware appeared. Is this the only one of TSRCommander, InfoDisplay, TimerExtend, and AutoLetterBox (the TAPS I run) that has been updated?

BTW, thanks for all your fantastic work on the toppy.

EPG_uploader was updated too, but you aren't running that tap by the looks of it.

As for what it improves: Depends on what f/w you were running prior to this May f/w, if you were running the March f/w it had a bug with a 2nd timer not starting if it was within a minute of another timer finishing. If you were running April 2004 f/w, then there are big changes with this f/w, if you were running Dec 2004 fimware, then there are minor changes, extra menu's for recording (when record is hit twice) to stop the recording after this event, next event, or X mins, and a pause option to pause the recording!
It fixes a few timer bugs apparently, also (again, not confirmed) this new f/w takes the EPG name at a percentage into the recording, rather than the beginning, so will get more correct details than previously.
