May 4th 2018: Firmware v0.8.0-rc.4

A new pre-release firmware v0.8.0-rc.4 is available now on https://build.particle.io for Core/Photon/P1/Electron.

The changelog is short, so here it is! :smile:

0.8.0-rc.4

ENHANCEMENTS

  • [Electron/Photon/P1] Increase Device OS API argument lengths. More data in Functions, Variables, Publish, Subscribe… oh my! #1537

BUGFIXES

  • [Electron] Particle.keepAlive() API was broken since v0.6.2-rc.2 firmware on Electron where the System would override an early set User ping interval. This required a workaround of updating the keepAlive after the System made a connection to the Cloud. See issue #1482 for workaround. #1536
  • [Electron] Fixes missing URCs for received data during TX or RX socket operations. This caused the modem not to be able to receive further data properly until it re-connected to the Cloud which it would do automatically but usually after a short or longer period of time. #1530

June 26th 2018: Firmware v0.8.0-rc.8

A new pre-release firmware v0.8.0-rc.8 is available now on https://build.particle.io for Core/Photon/P1/Electron.

Note: This is primarily a MFG. release for SARA-R410 LTE modules. The changes do touch code used on other Electron based platforms, but no other features or fixes are relevant for U260, U270, U201, or G350 modems. This code has been tested on-device for all mentioned modem types with passing results. Please let us know if you find any issues. That said, this is a release candidate for 0.8.0 default so please do test on your systems.

December 20th 2018: Firmware v0.8.0-rc.12

A new pre-release firmware v0.8.0-rc.12 is available now on https://build.particle.io for Core/Photon/P1/Electron.

Note: This is a release candidate for 0.8.0 default so please do test on your systems.

0.8.0-rc.12

ENHANCEMENTS

  • [Electron/Photon/P1] Cache persistent feature flags (#1640)
  • [Photon/P1] Memory usage optimizations (#1635)

BUGFIXES

  • [Electron/Photon/P1] Fixes SOS in 0.8.0-rc.11 and also ensures button and OOM events are handled synchronously. Previously in multi-threaded applications the button handling may have been delayed to run within the application thread. Now it is always handled immediately and should be noted that it is called from an ISR, so it is not advised to dynamically allocate memory in button event handlers. (#1600) (#1650)
  • [Electron/Photon/P1] Do not disable interrupts on every system loop iteration (#1622)
  • [Electron/Photon/P1] Wait for Wiring Thread to start (#1528)
  • [Electron/LTE] Power Manager Watchdog Timer Fix (#1581)
  • [Electron/LTE] AT+CNUM command causing registration failure on LTE devices (#1627)
  • [Electron] PMIC::getInputCurrentLimit() cannot report values higher than 900mA (#1581)
  • [Electron] Do not set the sticky skip hello after handshake (#1624)
  • [Photon/P1] Invalidate sockets when turning WiFi off (#1639)

The ability to create Particle Products using the Generation 3 Hardware — specifically Products based on the Argon or Boron is now available in the Console and via the Particle API. These options will appear in the Device Type dropdown when creating a new product.

This will enable the creation of single-radio applications leveraging Wi-Fi or Cellular connectivity that use the latest and greatest Particle hardware. Stay tuned for support for Mesh-based deployments using the Product architecture!
