Black holes

I have been reading the two BEA reports on AF447 back and forth a couple of times now. Compared to earlier AAIB reports on upsets like QF72, and others, the BEA reports are almost completely empty of information about the FBW software/hardware in use and the version of system producing the ACARS messages. The earlier investigations referred to have shown that the software of the ADIRU:s was updated/modified several times, sometimes even making things worse than before with regard to the responses to unusual input data.
Thus we (I) apparently still don't know the software versions and revisions running on the various computers on AF447, and not even the version of computers and details of the hardware used. Was the false airspeed indication due to pitot-icing or to someting else - like one or more software bugs/hardware problems?
Is there any such information available somewhere that I have missed? Please!
