Ize Compose v1.1.0

[Dievesa]

Ize Compose v1.1.0

Ize Compose now supports web-based firmware updates for ZeroWriter Ink. After this release is installed once via USB, future firmware updates can be uploaded directly from the device's local update page.

What's new

• Added working web-based firmware update support (OTA)
• Changed the firmware update filename to izefirmware.bin
• Added on-device PIN confirmation and PIN display for web uploads
• Fixed text disappearing or failing to redraw correctly during writing
• Fixed incorrect highlight rendering in Search mode
• Fixed stuck Ctrl modifier behavior after leaving network/update modes
• Improved RTL display direction for Hebrew and Arabic-script layouts
• Changed Arabic-script text handling so saved documents retain logical Unicode text rather than display-form glyphs
• Moved the Latin writing font to an external SD font file to reduce firmware size
• Added hwalja_latin.bin to the web resource upload interface
• Switched to an OTA-compatible 4 MB partition layout

Firmware update file

Upload the firmware binary using this filename:

izefirmware.bin

Important installation note

Because this release changes the flash partition layout to enable OTA, the first installation of v1.1.0 must be performed over USB.

After v1.1.0 has been installed by USB, future firmware updates can be installed from the device's web update interface.

Required SD resource

This release loads the Latin writing font from the SD card. Make sure the following file is present:

/ize_compose/hwalja/hwalja_latin.bin

Notes

Arabic-script documents created from this release onward are saved as logical Unicode text for better compatibility when opened on other devices. Arabic joining appearance on the device remains dependent on the available font glyphs.
