Leap Second

International Earth Rotation and Reference Systems Service (IERS) announced there will be an extra second added to the end of this year, so clocks will read 23:59:60 on December 31, 2016. Such leap seconds are
occasionally needed to ensure Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), the official measure of time, stays in sync with changes in the Earth’s rotation.

I assume Javad will or has already addressed this with a firmware update.

GPS time is not perturbed by leap seconds and is currently ahead of UTC by 17 seconds:

Next year GPS time will be 18 seconds ahead. Firmware updates are not needed.
