What's new in v1.6

Looks after your battery

  • When the battery is low, the things that need a lot of power (WiFi, the Pet's Meet, Dex scans and recording a note) say "Battery too low" instead of starting.
  • When it's flat, the screen shows "Charge me" and the device switches itself off, so the battery isn't drained further. Plug in USB, then press PWR.

Never loses your things

  • The calendar, badges, notes and the Pet's friends are saved whole or not at all: the old copy is kept until the new one is safely on the card.
  • A calendar sync to a full or missing card now says it failed, and your saved calendar stays (before, it could be deleted).
  • A note that's already been transcribed isn't lost when the card is full: it still goes to GitHub, or is shown on screen once.
  • Pet friends are also kept on the SD card, so they survive Reset > Everything and a reinstall.

Never stuck

  • If the device ever freezes, it restarts by itself after 30 seconds.

New

  • Factory reset (Settings > Reset data, asks twice), for passing a device on: WiFi, keys, the Pet, friends and every setting. Files on the SD card stay.
  • A welcome on a new device: the buttons, and a QR code for the website.
  • Settings > Battery & info shows the device's name (the same as its Open on phone WiFi), handy when asking for help.

Fixes

  • Timetable offers to set the clock even before there are any events.
  • Confirm boxes and a few screens no longer cut their text short.
  • A damaged file on the card can't run the device out of memory; the Dex says when it's full, or when new finds couldn't be saved.

GitHub and website

  • Firmware files and checksums are attached to each release. Questions and problems: open an issue; security problems: see SECURITY.md.
