Thank you for the update! This might be a silly question, but I just want to confirm. On the Photon, if I flash 4.4.rcX via the CLI using this command: particle flash deviceid system-part1-photon.bin particle flash deviceid system-part2-photon.bin Then if I build my app via Particle Build (Web …

Hi @Carsten4207 ! That’s a great question! The vast majority of the fixes are in the system firmware so updating your photon with the new system binaries will bring in those fixes. Examples of these are I2C stability, TCPClient stability. There are a handful of fixes that are in the application fir…

Wow! I’m not using i2c or tcp but nonetheless finding the new firmware vastly more robust on photon with publish/subscribe and waking from sleep to reconnect and publish (semi_automatic). Also now recovers cloud connection nicely after being cut off from wifi (isolated in a microwave for awhile). Am…

[image] mdma: When 0.4.4 is released and you build an application against 0.4.4, the Cloud will upgrade your system firmware automatically over-the-air to 0.4.4 if it's at an older version. Does this mean that in the future the photons get automatic updates when we flash an application to it …

Will this update fix the issues with using Spark.function, Spark.subscribe and attachInterrupt when used in a class? Or is that a future update? [image] [Solved] How to register a C++ instance method with Spark.function? Troubleshooting Hey guys! I have been using my Pho…

[image] Maarten_CH: Does this mean that in the future the photons get automatic updates when we flash an application to it using the WebIDE? So no need to do the update using CLI "particle flash deviceid system-part1-photon.bin" and "particle flash deviceid system-part2-photon.bin" anymore? Y…

[image] Moors7: That IDE isn't really 'offline'. It still compiles your apps in the cloud, and OTA flashing is also done over the cloud. That said, any OTA update through the cloud should initiate this upgrade procedure if I'm not mistaken. That sounds good :smiley:

Was the fix to the micros() function to use the full 32 bits before rolling over incorporated into 4.4? It is here: https://github.com/spark/firmware/pull/493 It looks to me like the pull was accepted into the develop branch, but I’m not sure if that is the branch that the release is made from, so …

I’ve made a PR to the docs that describes both pre and post 0.4.4 behaior. The release candidate rc.3 will be cut from develop later today.

Do the TCPClient fixes address some of the issues brought up in the long term connection stability thread? Or do those changes just affect direct usage of TCPClient?
