June, 2016, Firmware Update

Epson's U.S. site has posted, on 14 June, a firmware update for the 7900. This is HN124G5. As usual, the U.S. site's blurb doesn't say much about what this update does; if I believe what it does say, I probably won't install this update. From the update page:
epson17815.dmg

Description: This file contains the Epson Stylus Pro 7900 Firmware Update version HN124G5. 

This update improves paper thickness setting for custom media and adds M1 support for high OBA media when using SpectroProofer.
