Bootloader for SpeedyBee F405 V4 not available from https://firmware.ardupilot.org/Tools/Bootloaders/

Bug report

The bulk of the bootloader files available from https://firmware.ardupilot.org/Tools/Bootloaders/ were last updated on Oct 17th and include files for various SpeedyBee FCs but does not yet include one for the SpeedyBee F405 V4.

I presume this is because the SpeedyBee F405 V4 hwdef.dat etc. were only added on Nov 1st.

But what triggers the release of the bootloader files found on firmware.ardupilot.org and when will they next be updated such that they include a file for the SpeedyBee F405 V4? I thought they might be updated in sync with new ArduPilot releases but there've been several releases since Oct 17th and no corresponding updates to the bootloader files.

In the meantime, https://firmware.ardupilot.org/Tools/Bootloaders/ seems to have been synced with the contents of https://github.com/ArduPilot/ardupilot/tree/master/Tools/bootloaders and the more recent bootloader files are now available there.

So, I'll mark this as closed but perhaps https://firmware.ardupilot.org/Tools/Bootloaders/ should be automatically synced with the files on GitHub. I guess that at the moment, it's a manual process.
