K20D v1.01 firmware update compatibility

Concerning upgrading to K20D firmware v1.01. I do long night exposures so I was thinking of upgrading my firmware (currently v1.0). What I want to know is, I believe this update may break some software due to a change in the header string. I mainly use RAW.

The software I use:

PPL 3.51
UFRAW 14.1
Xnview 1.95.3
IrfanView 4.20
Picasa 3.0.0 (Build 57.52)
RawTherapee 2.4 b1 (but I think it's b2)
FastStone 3.6

Is anyone aware of recognition problems with any of this software with the upgraded K20D firmware?

I can only answer for Infranview, to say it works with 1.0.1

It shouldn't be to hard to find a raw file made with a 1.0.1 firmware and test it yourself...

(or pm me and I upload one for you somewhere...)

Thanks to tcdk supplying a test file, I can now say none of the progams I mentioned had a problem recognising the raw file from a K20D camera running v1.01 firmware.
