The new Excursion v6 firmware supports some new commands for accessing the dive index, and also uses a completely new data format. To preserve backwards compatibility in the download logic to some extent, some critical fields such as the profile length, remain stored at identical offsets. The new data format now contains a version field to allow for future modifications. This version field is located at byte offset 3, which corresponds to the highest byte of the 32 bit dive number in the old format. Thus, unless someone manages to reach 16M dives, this field will always be zero for the old format. Co-authored-by: Ryan Gardner <ryebrye@gmail.com>
