Firmware 0.5.3 is out on the Web IDE for Core/Photon/P1/Electron - and the Particle CLI has been updated from 1.16.0 to 1.17.0

Note: This is a Release and may be used for production. Any known issues are likely slated for 0.7.0-rc.1 (check Github issues). It is available by default for all devices. To use, select the 0.5.3 version dropdown from the devices drawer.

Note: If you have previously last used one of the prerelease versions of 0.5.3 on a Core/Photon/P1 device, please re-flash it with 0.5.3. You must upgrade (locally preferred) the Electron system firmware to 0.5.3 first before you can OTA new user apps.
