MCG-Pro Trigger Function Lost in FW update

I actually discovered this a month or so ago but tried updating my firmware again along with the configurator (to v92.80) this morning and it reminded me. The latest v2.14.9(A,) shown as compatible with that version of the configurator, removed the trigger axis function on the MCG-Pro. Button 3 is the only one that shows up in the test screen, none of the trigger axis buttons do. Tried different profiles--same thing. I rolled back to FW v2.13.1 and it's back working again across all profiles. (according to my sig I had been using FW v2.13F prior to this morning so that one was OK too) Something telling me the 2.14 series is what did it. Been a while since I tried updating, I'd forgotten it happened before but rolling back fixed it then. Just passing it along figuring it's worth a look.

I don’t remember exactly, but since some recent version, the trigger axis (9th) has moved to the axes tab (the second virtual VC controller). Therefore, it is there that you need to control its calibration and only after that the buttons will work.

2.14.3 is the last version with trigger working. Alex_Oz knows.

Thanks guys. I did figure it out on my own but this is where a changelog wth the firmware would be a great help or at least a time saver. Oughta be some sort of announcement about functions added, moved or removed in what is already a notoriously difficult, albeit super functional software to use. If not a simple text file wth the FW or config update, maybe a post here? New firmware out, this is what changed. Would have saved me the trouble of wondering what happened and having to post here about it.
