Problem with VESC Tool vs BLDC FW version

I just built VESC Tool for Linux from source, but no matter what FW I upload, VESC Tool thinks it is "a bit old" and tags it with "limited functionality" which means the Motor Setup Wizard just sends me back to firmware upgrade again and again.

I have tried using "FIRMWARE_default" with hw60_mk5 from VESC Tool v 3.01 test version 1 and 12 and even after upgrading to this firmware the tool says it is too old.

(I have also build the 5_03 dev branch FW and uploaded under "Custom" with same result.)

What am I missing?

And I have repeatedly checked that the "VESC Firmware, Hardware and UUID" box has read Fw:5.1 and the box next to it states : Supported firmwares loaded: 5.0, 5.1.

To me this looks to be right, but I still get "The connected VESC has old, but mostly compatible..." on reconnect to the VESC from VESC Tool.
