All updates to FIRST provided software (i.e. other than 3rd part libraries such as the CTRE Talon/Pidgin libraries, Kauai NavX libraries, etc.) software updates are announced in the Team Updates (NI Update 2017.2.0 was announced in Team Update 16 between Week 1 and Week 2. CSAs were provided with a hotfix for LabVIEW USB camera streaming issues in the middle of week 1 events but if the camera does not appear in the dropdown at all that is not the same issue as the hotfix (and later 2017.2.0) are intending to fix.
