I ordered one after the fix was found and kits were announced for those who had already purchased one. However, I haven't seen indications yet if new orders since the fix will include the fix. So I guess my question is if I ordered an adapter after the announced fix, should I expect my order to include the fix kit, too?
No, you should not.
The fix was created, but didn't actually fix the problem. Which means there are now TWO generations of cables that have an issue. Luke is aware, and is working with engineers to figure out how to actually fix the problem.
I don't want to go so far as to say that Pine should remove or disable the adapter until the fix, but I think it'd be a great idea if some of the posts about the fixes got cleaned up. (I searched around for 30m before deciding to just ask in this thread. That's too long for known information.) For example, the post that led me here to ask this question was posted and locked by Luke, and clearly states the fix was found and going out, then directs to this thread for discussion. It would be good to update it to strike out/redact the claim, and possibly even sticky it to be updated when new fixes come up or are verified.
