A better source might be airworthiness directives (AD). These are fixes
to aircraft systems mandated by organisations like the FAA in response
to reported incidents (i.e. present a risk to flight safety). While
software is not mentioned, directives to update flight control systems
are most probably (almost certainly?) software related.
