The version logic is indeed present for all signed files (fs.zip bootfw.zip, ...) in newer XO firmware builds. That is to say - if no fs.zip or similar file without a digit is found, each platform will then look for an fs#.zip file with the appropriate digit. Older XO-1 and XO-1.5 firmware build

I have another silly request. For those of us testing on multiple platforms, the download file names for both the 1.75 and 1.5 image are now the same: i.e.: os4.zd4. It would be nice to be able to differentiate between the two, as in the easy way it was for uim/onu for XO-1 vs zd4/zsp for XO 1.5
