Firmware download GSS116E only shows Prosafe Plus config utility - V2

Does anyone know why the 1.0.0.5 firmware has been removed from the downloads section of the GSS116E?

Eaglehawk,

I believe the engineering team have already fixed the problem that is why GSS116E firmware v1.0.0.6 and v1.0.0.5 are up again on the GSS116E download page. Kindly read their release notes respectively on the links below:

GSS116E Firmware Version 1.0.0.6

GSS116E Firmware Version 1.0.0.5

Thanks for this, have updated my switch from 1.0.0.0. The Release Notes say:
There was an issue with v1.0.0.0. VLANs and Link Aggression stop working when GSS116E is booted up and when firmware is being upgraded from v1.0.0.0. The issue is fixed in v1.0.0.2 or newer versions
I wasn't sure if it necessarily applied to me (I was going to 1.0.0.6 which is a 'newer version'). However, it went a bit further than the update wrecking my LAG: Trying to upload the 1.0.6 firmware over LAG failed to even update the firmware. I had to break the LAG to get the update to work. I then did the bootloader as per the release notes.

The release notes are otherwise great. When I couldn't go from 1.0.0.0 over the web UI and read the notes it was clear I had to use the prosafe utility.
