Yep, the PW2 was the first device of its specific hardware generation, hence it being in the same bag as the Basic, KV & PW3.

Which explains why it still gets some love while the PW1 doesn't

.

PSA: I *hopefully* just fixed the JB issues. Was an old and stupid bug, oops. Will put a giant warning in a dedicated thread in the dev forum when we've confirmed things are working as they should

. [Done!]

EDIT: Bonus info I got from digging into this, in case this didn't already leak somewhere: this'll probably be the base FW for the PW4, which introduces another new hardware generation (codenamed Rex), while the device itself is codenamed Moonshine.
As usual, it looks like it's going to be released in approximately seven billion slightly different variants.
