				<![CDATA[Current Firmware - 350O
(Previous - 3.41)

Current BIOS - 1.09
(Previous - 1.06)

Current Ctrl-M - U821
(Previous - U812)

Current BootBlock - 1.7.6Dell
(Previous - 1.7.1Dell)


Bug Fixes:

1. Addressed issues found with the Firmware status Queue. This was causing the firmware to post status completion of command IDs still in progress, causing the driver to reuse those command IDs.

2. Addressed an issue in the media error counter logic when drives with media errors are replaced.

3. Improved rebuild logic to handle multiple media error in the same array in corner case conditions. 

4. Improved Firmware error handling and messages for TBBU related events.


Enhancements:

1. Improve firmware behavior and reporting when a multi-bit error is encounter at boot time. 
If an unrecoverable (multi-bit) error is encountered, during a cache scrub at initialization, the cache is re-initialized.

2. Improve the Firmware interrupt handling for all possible interrupts and takes specific actions based on the type and source of the interrupt.

3. Improve firmware failure algorithm for failed drives based on SAF-TE information.

4. Improved firmware error handling for cable pulled/removed situations. 

5. Improved firmware algorithm and error handling for drive roaming scenarios and deleted Logical Disks.

6. Improved error logging and debug information collection when the firmware hangs or crashes.

7. Improved BIOS status reporting and messaging during POST. 

8. Improved error firmware handling when drives return Hardware Error (sense key code 04) in some configurations.

9. Improved Firmware behavior and error handling for SCSI bus resets when in a cluster configuration.
