New in Prog-Express 3.2.8 (May 2, 2012)
- Enhanced chip support.
- Improved reliability and safeness of the firmware update process.
- Improved operator mode settings to provide a more secure production environment.
- Improved the password dialog used by the operator mode. From now on the entered password is masked behind asterisk letters to keep out prying eyes.

New in Prog-Express 3.2.7 (May 2, 2012)
- Enhanced chip support.
- When the process step “program chip with buffer” is executed separately, Prog-Express automatically checks if the chip is empty before.
- Separate process steps are visible by default now.Separate process steps are now displayed crossed out if disabled.
- Chip auto detection feature improved.
- Several small improvements.
- Fixed a bug at NAND chip programming when using the spare area usage option “don’t use spare area”. When using this special option the source data wasn’t programmed correctly. Verify failed and/or a lot of bad blocks were detected at further accesses.
- Fixed a bug in the chip options control, which throws an exception if the user chooses an invalid Intel-Hex (with bad formatted records) as input file.
- Fixed a bug that could occur is the programmer is disconnected while he is in work.

- To remove rarely racing situations on some pc, the checksum recalculation was disabled while file operations are running.
- Fixed a bug within the production mode. Removed a wrong/unnecessarily warning message when programmer specific chip options were used at some chips.
