Hey friends! We have released a new pre-release firmware v0.6.2-rc.2. Available now on https://build.particle.io for Core/Photon/P1/Electron.
This release addresses one Bug fix and a new Feature:
[PR #1311][Implements CH1537] [Electron] Added support for Twilio SIMs by default in system firmware.
[PR #1310] Fixes a error when <algorithm> has already been included before the math.h header. Now we only include math.h when Arduino compatibility is requested. (math.h was not included in 0.6.0).
Hey friends! We have released a new default firmware v0.6.2. Available now on https://build.particle.io for Core/Photon/P1/Electron.
This release addresses one very important Enhancement / Bug fix, and a new Feature
[PR #1311][Implements CH1537] [Electron] Added support for Twilio SIMs by default in system firmware.
[PR #1283][Implements #1278] Restores 0.6.0-style Arduino compatibility by default, full Arduino compatibility when including Arduino.h
[PR #1310] Fixes a error when <algorithm> has already been included before the math.h header. Now we only include math.h when Arduino compatibility is requested. (math.h was not included in 0.6.0).
Right now, the way that most users set up their Photon is through the mobile app. Some people don’t have smartphones or they are not willing to install a new app.
How can we make the setup process more accessible? By enabling setting up a Photon through the setup.particle.io website. The process is as easy-to-follow as the one in the app, and it is filled with hints & instructions.
[Photon/P1/Electron] DFU transfer speeds increased! v100 bootloader is now 41% faster than v7 and 60% faster than the latest v11.
System firmware now restores public server key and server address if missing
Added CRC checking to the Electron DCD & Photon/P1 DCT implementation so that write errors are detected. Added a critical section around flash operations and around DCD/DCT operations to make them thread safe.
Fixes possible corruption of event data in multi-threaded firmware
Use backup registers instead of DCD/DCT to store system flags to avoid chance of a DCD/DCT corruption
See if your device is online by pinging it. Available on the device show page (click on any device from the devices table). This should be useful especially for Electrons.
A new pre-release firmware v0.7.0-rc.3 is available now on https://build.particle.io for Core/Photon/P1/Electron.
The changelog is short, so here it is!
DEPRECATED API
[PR #1365] Beginning with 0.8.0 release, Particle.publish() and Particle.subscribe() methods will require event scope to be specified explicitly. Please update your apps now to include the event scope to avoid compilation errors in >=0.8.0.
