why am I getting the wrong ble_advertising.h after a update to SDK 8.1.0 from 8.0.0?

I am getting the following warning and errors after updating to nrf51 SDK 8.1.0 from 8.0.0 Do I need to change something else?

When you post code/output can you use one of the formatting icons so it's readable please. I just edited it (select code, hit the button marked '0101').

Yes if you look at the headers for 8.1 vs 8.0 you will see the parameters to ble_advertising_init() changed because that function now does more and takes an extra parameter in the middle. Similarly the BSP package has changed and you'll need to make adjustments there too.

So that's not the wrong ble_advertising.h, it's the right one, 8.1 has a different API.
