bug: venusqm CIQ version isn't updated

On a physical venusqm the API level is 3.3.6, but in compiler.json it's only 3.3.1 and here: https://developer.garmin.com/connect-iq/compatible-devices/ it's only 3.3.0

    Of course, if the connectIqVersion in compiler.json was updated to 3.3.6, then the corresponding firmware version would have to be changed as well (to match the first firmware which supported 3.3.6).

    In venusqm/compiler.json, connectIQVersion is 3.3.1 (as you said), and firmwareVersion is "330", for the non-APAC part numbers.

    According to the (archived) Venu Sq forum, the latest firmware for Venu Sq / Sq Music was released over a year ago, and it's 5.00 (it only contains bug fixes, no features).

    I wonder if not updating compiler.json could be a deliberate decision, so that Venu Sq / Sq Music users aren't forced to update to the latest firmware in order to get newer apps?

    Then again, that would seemingly go against the whole point of this system, which is to force users to update their firmware to get newer apps.

    Anyway, it's not the first time we've seen part numbers go without updates, especially APAC part numbers, but as in this case, also WW part numbers.
