    I'm a few days late on this, but Neptune has just released a new firmware update for the Apex controller.  I've applied it to my Apex and had no issues doing so.  The new release added feed timer configuration into the web interface as well as web based reboot capabilities.  There's also another 16 profiles available.  Here's the notes on the release history so you can see what new features/fixes.

    Also, for what it's worth, here's the current firmware version for some of the various components:
    PM1 - 009
    PM2 -
    PM3 -
    VDM -
    WXM - 004
    EB4 -
    EB8 - 009
    Display - 009
    I was only able to list the current version for the components that I have which is why half of the modules don't have a version indicated.  If you have other components than those listed with version numbers, you should push the firmware to them (Configuration / Module Setup / Select the module you wish to push firmware to / Select Update Firmware option / Click Submit Module Change button).
