New Rigol DS1054Z oscilloscope

Personally, I run the latest firmware from the Rigol North America site and don't fool with these strange versions on the China site.  It almost seems like the latest few on the China site are really 'release candidates' that have not been flushed out yet.  IMHO, I believe the North America firmware is slightly slower to get updated but it's a more stable version.

But, you're free to experiment all you want.

But if you've had practice it will be easy to modify the new version, too.  :)

You care if I'm OK with that?  That would have been nice.  :)
Though it sounded like you were aggressive for no reason.

I was hoping you were making some reverse engineering, and looking for something in particular, something you were hoping might be found in the past versions, that's why I've asked what for do you need them.

It is possible to downgrade, or to load arbitrary FW version.  Did that once, only to realize the previous FW version that I thought it was better has heaving the same behavior, so reverted back to the latest firmware.

In order to downgrade, you'll have to make a Rigol-signed disk, it is attached in this post:
https://www.eevblog.com/forum/testgear/new-rigol-ds1054z-oscilloscope/msg3613778/#msg3613778

How to make one, then how to use the attached "Rigol_sign_disk.zip" (in order to make the oscilloscope to accept any arbitrary firmware version) is at the very end of that link, posted as code.  That disk will spare you of manually editing the version, and/or to recalculate the checksums of the .gel file.

Nope, just wanted the latest few firmware urls.

Yes but it seems currently the units are shipped from the factory with a more recent firmware. For that units, the "stable" version may be unsuitable. So there is a mechanism that prevents downgrading. Of course, if one is curious and determined enough, he can find a way to bypass it, to invoke more trouble on himself. OTOH, the latest China versions actually incorporate a new feature, which is related to "one-key measurement of 37 parameters". They finally replaced the Variation nonsense with something more useful (AC.Vrms). It's not possible to enjoy it with the versions from the NA and EU web sites.
