11/25/16 - Firmware version detection and automatic device status updates in Build IDE

Since its release, Electron users were able to see what firmware version is running on their devices from tools like Build IDE. Now this feature is also available for Photons, P1’s and some compounds like Bluz.

The same information can be also fetched using API when listing devices.

We also made two changes in Build IDE:

  • improved how device connectivity status is being refreshed, making it more reliable and responsive.
  • removed Electron online icon as it was misleading due to nature of cellular connection
