## Device OS 1.0.0 is out on the [Web IDE](https://build.particle.io) for Core/Photon/P1/Electron _released on production servers January 10th, 2019_ ✏ **Please read all notes below** :bowtie: > **Note:** This is a **Release** and **may be used for production**.

This means using `PRIVATE` or `PUBLIC` for `Particle.publish()` and `MY_DEVICES` or `ALL_DEVICES` for `Particle.subscribe()`. Please update your apps to include the event scope to avoid compilation errors in firmware `>0.7.0`. Deprecation warnings for this change began with `0.7.0-rc.3`. [#1365](https://github.com/spark/firmware/pull/1365) - [Core/Photon/P1] `WiFi.RSSI()` must be cast to `int8_t` when used inline with Serial.print() to produce correct results. E.g. `Serial.printlnf("%d", (int8_t) WiFi.RSSI() );` Electron is not affected.

### Hi friends! We just updated `release/stable` and `master` branches of the `device-os` repo to be current with `release/v1.0.0`. Because we had to force push these changes, you’ll likely have merge conflicts if you `git pull` the latest changes for those branches. Because of this you will need to hard reset your local copy of each branch to match the remote. ⚠ Before doing this, make sure you save any changes you have been making in your local copy of `release/stable` or `master` (hopefully you are not doing that though and using a `feature/branch` based on these 😉 ) ### Hard Reset `release/stable` ``` git checkout release/stable && git fetch origin && git reset --hard origin/release/stable ``` ### Hard Reset `master` ``` git checkout master && git fetch origin && git reset --hard origin/master ``` You should now be sync’d up again with the most recent `release/stable` and `master` ### Rename the repo to `device-os` We also renamed the repo from `firmware` to `device-os` and you may update your local clone as follows: ``` git remote set-url origin git@github.com:particle-iot/device-os.git ``` ### Read more about 1.0.0 on our blog [Announcing Device OS 1.0 and Release Guidelines for Product Creators](https://blog.particle.io/2019/01/10/announcing-device-os-1-0-and-release-guidelines-for-product-creators/) ---

Hello Friends! Just a quick update that firmware repo branches `release/stable` and `master` have been updated to point to `release/v1.1.0` You can update your local versions with either of these commands: ```auto git checkout release/stable && git pull git checkout master && git pull ``` If you have any trouble with this, please reference this previous post [Particle Device OS Updates Thread](http://community.particle.io/t/particle-firmware-updates-thread/14378/37?u=bdub) ---

We have also separated BOOTLOADER\_DEPENDENCY for Gen 2 and Gen 3. For now, we will leave Gen 2 as is depending on v201 bootloader (so there is nothing to do for Gen 2 (Photon/P1 only) unless you want the latest bootloader, although it is not mandatory), but we have bumped Gen 3 to v302 because also in this release we have removed the embedded bootloaders from Gen 3 system firmware. To force the Cloud update for Gen 2 (Photon/P1 only) we will bump the bootloader dependency version to v302 in v1.2.0 default. ### FEATURES - [Enterprise] Immediate Product Firmware Updates [#1732](https://github.com/particle-iot/device-os/pull/1732) - On-demand Device Vitals publishing [#1724](https://github.com/particle-iot/device-os/pull/1724) [[Docs]](https://prerelease-docs.particle.io/reference/device-os/firmware/boron/#particle-publishvitals-) ### ENHANCEMENTS - [gen 3] Update error codes in Gen3 parser to facilitate debugging efforts and provide context to system errors [#1766](https://github.com/particle-iot/device-os/pull/1766) - [gen 3] Remove bootloader machine code string from system-part1 on Gen3 platforms.
