In late February 2024, GitHub changed their SSL web certificate, invalidating the one that is stored within the ESP32 chip on the Aquarius⁺. This broke the UPDATEGH function within the esp:settings tool.

To fix this problem, you will need to manually update your Aquarius⁺ hardware using the method described below:

1. Go to the Releases page and select V0.26 or later...

2. Download the aquarius-plus.bin files and copy it to the root of your Aquarius⁺ SD card.

3. Run the Settings app on your Aquarius⁺ hardware by typing RUN "ESP:SETTINGS followed by RETURN.

4. From within the Settings app, type UPDATE (NOT updategh!) followed by RETURN.

5. You'll be prompted to confirm the update by typing yes and RETURN.

6. The system will update and then ask you to hit RETURN to reboot.

7. After reboot, you should see that the OS version (NOT plusBASIC) has been updated to V0.26 (or later).

8. You can delete the aquarius-plus.bin file from the root of your SD card by typing del aquarius-plus.bin and hitting RETURN.

Thanks for your patience in this process. Unfortunately, creating a "smart" SSL web certification management function within the ESP32 is beyond the scope of what the development team can accomplish at this time.
