So, I installed the Version Comparison Fix back in March, and my two SB
Radios are operating fine ever since.

However, I have recently noticed that in LMS' Information tab, I see the
following in Player Information:


Information on all identified devices connected to Logitech
Media Server
You seem to be using a Radio with an outdated firmware, not recognizing
this version of Logitech Media Server. Please consider patching it. 'Get
more information.'
(http://picoreplayer:9000/html/docs/radio-compatibility.html)

Also, the server log file displays:


[20-07-28 16:33:22.0511]
Slim::Networking::Discovery::getFakeVersion (129) 
You're using a Radio with a buggy firmware not recognizing this version
of Logitech Media Server.
Please consider patching it. Until then we'll try to play nice and
return a fake version number...

See
https://github.com/Logitech/slimserver/blob/public/8.0/README.md#sb-radio-and-logitech-media-server-8.

I'd have hoped that the fix would have eliminated these messages.  Or is
this just expected behaviour?

And it got me wondering what the SBR firmware bug actually was?  Was it
a genuine bug, or was it simply that SBR does a server version check and
errors on a LMS version that doesn't appear valid (in this case 8.x)? 
In which case, does the "version patch" patch the SBR firmware to make
it happy with LMS 8.x.  If so, are the messages I'm still seeing above
because LMS sees the SBR firmware version (7.7.3-r16676) and assumes
it's broken, because it has no way of knowing that the version patch has
been installed?
