New Photon Updates: Magenta for 5-12 Minutes, DO NOT UNPLUG

[Dave]

We released fastOTA! Right now this is enabled for fresh photons, but we're checking to make sure it's safe for photons running very old firmware.

Over the Air updates just got faster!

Hi All! We just fully released a long standing feature we’ve been calling “fastOTA”. It should significantly speed up over the air firmware updates for most, especially if you are international, or have higher latency on your connection. If your device is running 045 or later, it should be enabled automatically for you. This means that: The previous long magenta update on a new Photon should now take less than a minute on standard Wi-Fi. The “blinking magenta” state that you are used to se…

You might notice some weird magenta blinking now, but it'll be much much faster.

Thanks,
David
