IMPORTANT: ArbOS and Peakflow must run the same build version - even if the ArbOS version number is the same from the previous version to the new one (i.e. Peakflow 9.7 and 9.8 both run on ArbOS 7.3, but both releases have different build version numbers - the new build of ArbOS must be installed).
