I see today that my Varia RTL515 received a new firmware, version 3.36. Does anybody have any information on what has changed and experience with it?

I just updated my 715 today ( Tim the Enchanter) ;-)
Mr. GP Lama,
I have a question,
I made this update, but I want it to switch to flash mode when the vehicle is detected in constant light mode. Because I live outside France.
How can I turn off the setting that prevents it from going into flash mode?
Also, since I am outside France, even if I have made this update, shouldn't it switch to flash mode when the vehicle is detected while it is in constant light mode?
With firmware 3.36, default behaviour of the Varia 515 is unchanged - the device will flash when an approaching vehicle is detected in any of the light modes (Low, Peloton, Day Flash, Night Flash).
If you are in France and need to deactivate the flashing, you must have v3.3.0 of the Varia Mobile App on your telephone and then turn off ""Radar Threat Mode" :
The fine is €11.
But if I can reassure you, there are a very large number of cyclists in France who won't be upgrading and will continue to ride with flash modes on the one hand, and the police in France have other things better to do than to fine “offenders” on the other.
