v3.1.0

The scale now tells you when an update is waiting instead of expecting you to go
looking. When it finds one it asks, once; if you say no it stays quiet for a day.

Added

  • The scale checks for updates on its own — shortly after it joins WiFi, then
    every six hours — and asks whether you want to go to the update page. Answering
    No holds the question for 24 hours rather than raising it at the next check.
  • A confirmation step before an update starts, with the one thing that matters on
    it: this takes about two minutes, and the power must stay on.
  • A full-screen progress ring while the update is written, replacing the thin bar.
    It runs 0-100% once across both the web UI and the firmware instead of
    restarting between them, so the number always means "how far through".
  • Six new interface strings, translated into all eight languages.

Fixed

  • The update screen described the download and the installation as two phases.
    They are one: the firmware is written to flash as it arrives off the network,
    so the screen now says "Installation" for the whole operation and stops
    implying a wait that does not exist.
  • Two comments in the source still claimed over-the-air firmware update was
    impossible on this board. That stopped being true in v3.0.0, when the partition
    table gained its second app slot.

Known issues

  • The update prompt appears only from the idle weigh screen. If the scale is in
    the middle of reading a tag it waits, which in practice means the prompt can
    arrive a few seconds after the check that found it.

Updating

Over the air from Settings > Update, or over USB with
bash scripts/flash.sh --fs. Both keep your WiFi credentials, TigerTag session
and calibration.
