1. Complies to EN50131 Hide/Show Alarms option in Configuration > Modules and Settings
2. Changes on the LCD version display upon boot-up.
3. Query for Vocabulary information to Comfort is done once at reset and notr repeatedly when the command is not supported by Comfort older firmware
4. Supports  Identify ID command (u? command to UCM) for subtype, firmware version and revision so u? command for scanning will work

1. As in 1.011 but Show/Hide option is not implemented (For non-EN50131)

1. "e" version supports EN50131 "Show/Hide Alarms" option. "r" version does not support EN50131 "Show/Hide Alarms" option.
2. Firmware improved for more efficiency and removed redundant codes
3. Event Log cater for event type 32 (message tags).
4. Skip EEPROM memory check during reset which prevented the announcement "security off" at reset and status leds not be be updated.
5. Pressing '#' & '9' together will display keypad firmware version for about 5 sec.
6. Removes "#xxx" component in event log display, as there is voice for event log already.
7. Changed text from "PRESS *1 TO SYNC" to "PUSH *1 TOGETHER". Also added in new displat "MEMORY ERROR, CHECK MEMORY IC" for EEPROM IC errors. This is to indicate insufficient size of EEPROM IC or no IC plugged in.
8. Fixed Bug - Always send X-10 A1 00(hex) command after reset.
9. Temperature sensor function support for future with Temperature compensation (not implemented).
10. Support 2 bytes event log command.
11. Changed the off backlight function. Previously, the backlight was turned off by the keypress timer, even if the backlight is switched on by the system command. Now it can only be off by system, if it is turned on by it. The key pressed timer cannot turn it off anymore.
12. X10 process starts once an valid pulse string is received, instead of starting after "silent" period
13. Ability to receive CBus2 IR codes.
14. Rectified problem with 8C extended event log command. Fixed problem with the high and low byte order.
    

1. Check for EEPROM at reset (which causes “Security Off” and status leds not to be activated)
2. Cater for changes in zone name locations from 0300h to 1D00h.
3. 3. New locations  to store vocabulary version data. Only used for Comfort firmware  version 5 onwards.
4. Add new feature  sync vocab text with main board by pressing *1, on condition that LCDKP firmwave version is not lower than the minimum needed to run.
5. Added feature to keep on querying for vocabulary version until replied. (causes problem with old Comfort firmware which do not support this query)
6. New rules on NAK command reception and transmission. NAK comand should be sent not more than 3 times to prevent endless NAK and resends
7. During reser if the checksum is wrong, it will also show version number, instead of all blanks. All blanks are shown if the EEPROM is not correct (i.e. < 64kbits or missing).
8. Added in a new command Request Version Information. This is for download to Keypad  program to determine if the target is compatible with the memory map to be downloaded.
9. KP04  queries Comfort system version.in  order to support old and new version of word list. Old version of user word list in Comfoort I has 128 words while Comfiort II one has 144 words.
   

1. Change the time display to 12-hour format (ie. a or p at the end), instead of 24-hour format.
2. Remove the immediate "Communication Failure" message upon power up.The message will appear if there is no communications for 20 seconds.
3. Upon power up, the firmware version and ID are shown. The day field of date shows the ID settings of the keypad. It ranges from 1 to 15. The month and year is always set at Jan 2000. The time tells the version number of the firmware. The hour field is the version number while the minute field is the sub version number. Forxample, 01:00 is actually showing it is version 1.00 etc.
4. Change in the keypad scanning.
5. Solved the problem where there is communication collisions on the 485 bus.
6. Used PIC with larger processor memory
7. X10 IR detection code is implemented.
8. Implemented message whenever the keys are released (after pressed).
9. The keypad key parameter valued '12'Hex is disabled, previously, caused  by F+Day button. As it is not used, it sometimes creates unwanted responses from Comfort
10. LCD date display format is changed "DDMMMYYYY" to "DD MMM YY".
11. Implemented upload command.
12. Implement EEPROM checksum. If checksum is not correct, all LCD pixels will show. This also corrects the problem when an invalid EEPROM will "hang" or slow down the keypad operations.Also checks if the EEPROM is at least 64K. If the condition is not true, the LCD display will all be "lighted" (black).
