***** EDIT (23rd April 2020): Please see the newly added WARNING at the bottom of this post. *****
It looks like FrSky are battening down the hatches even more in order to try and lock out their competitor's products.
They have just released a new 2.x.x version of the ACCST D16 firmware for all their receivers and also for the XJT module. If you flash the 2.x.x version of the ACCST firmware to any receivers then you will also need to flash the corresponding 2.x.x firmware version to the internal XJT module on your transmitter as well, otherwise they won't work with each other. The trap in doing this however is that your XJT module will then no longer communicate with the original (reverse engineered) ACCST protocol used by 3rd party receivers, so if you are using any of those then don't update to the 2.x.x firmware on any of your equipment.
I honesty don't know what to think anymore. It seems that FrSky are intent on nailing their own coffin lid shut even more than they've already done with the new ACCESS protocol stuff. First that, now this. That new RadioMaster TX16S can't come to market soon enough.
Details of the new FrSky ACCST D16 2.x.x firmware are at the link below...

******************** WARNING *********************
**************************************************
New information has just come to light that the v2.1.0 release of the ACCST 2.x.x firmware appears to be bricking R-XSR receivers. Confirmation of this is in the post linked to below and the posts preceding that one...
https://intofpv.com/t-f4-succex-e-f405-r...0#pid90400
So just to re-iterate advice already given, stay well away from any of the ACCST-2.x.x firmware and don't install anything past the last release of the pre-2.x.x firmware on any FrSky receivers or transmitters.

FrSky Wrote:ACCST D16 2.X.X – This upgrade is designed to enhance the reliability and performance of radio transmission in all external conditions. It is strongly recommended that all FCC/LBT users update all their equipment to version 2.X.X. This includes all radios, RF modules and receivers.
We are grateful to you all for the constant support. Especially thank those who reported the issue, provided the information, and assisted with many tests.
Notes:
* Please update the firmware of all your radios, RF modules and receivers accordingly.
- Fixed the channel output error (uncontrolled servo movements) under certain conditions.
- Strengthened correction and verification capability.
