When will firmware version 3.1 be released? Onyx mentions it in their latest teaser video:

#Nova3Color​, our brand new 7.8" color E Ink tablet, and our latest V3.1 Firmware.

#Nova3​ Color offers much writing and reading features. Using the latest E Ink color display (Kaleido Plus) and BOOX color algorithm, it can show 4,096 relaxing soft colors.

Under the hood is the latest BOOX V3.1 firmware, flexible Android 10 OS, upgraded octa-core CPU, 32GB Storage, adjustable front lights, dual-band Wi-Fi, and BT5.0. It supports a Wacom stylus with 4096-level pressure sensitivity and capacitive touch. You can write, draw and read with fun on it.

Will the Boox v3.1 firmware be coming to older devices too? I’d love to have Boox Note Air with 3.1 firmware. I hear it has screen recording feature too?
