If that is too detailed, we can just say please use
version 4.46f to update the FW for V1-V7 since that
will update them to their latest FW version up to
(actually all before) 4.46f. 4.46f is not the first version
to get V6/V7 to the following state but it will update
the existing V6/V7 to the following version if they
are not already there.
 V6: J-Link ARM V6 compiled Feb  1 2011 14:28:14
 V7: J-Link ARM V7 compiled Feb 15 2011 11:03:33

BTW, since you have done quite extensive test on V8,
did you record the version string versus Segger software
version?
