Added

  • VIEWE UEDX80480043E-WB-A / -WB-B support: the 4.3" 800x480
    touch display board from VIEWE is now supported, with touch, the
    MicroSD slot and an adjustable backlight.

Changed

  • New color themes on color LCD boards: the "Dark green on black"
    theme is replaced by "Amber on dark-red", "Orange on black" is
    renamed "Amber on black" (same colors), and the background of
    "Black on beige" is a warmer, darker beige that is easier on the
    eyes. If you used "Dark green on black", the editor now starts in
    "Amber on dark-red"; pick another theme in F1 -> Settings -> Color
    theme if you prefer.

Fixed

  • Caps Lock works: the Caps Lock key now turns capital letters on
    and off like on a computer. It affects letters only (Shift gives
    lowercase while it is on); digits and symbols are unchanged. On the
    Hebrew layout it types Latin capitals, as on Windows. "CAPS" shows in
    the editor's title bar while it is on, and the keyboard's Caps Lock
    light follows it on keyboards that have one.
  • Hebrew lines no longer jump off the screen when you type a space:
    a right-to-left line ending in a space was drawn one space too far
    to the right, so its last letter slid past the right edge, and the
    same happened to every wrapped row of a long Hebrew paragraph.
  • Bluetooth keyboard connection: earlier pairing, clearer errors:
    a new keyboard is now paired as soon as the Bluetooth link is up,
    before the device looks at what the keyboard offers, the way phones
    and computers do it. When a connection fails, the message now says
    at which step (for example "no link, reason 0x3e" or "pairing error
    0x..."), which helps when reporting the problem. If a keyboard does
    not answer the connection request at all, the next attempt uses the
    connection settings phones use. "no link, reason 0x3e" usually means
    the keyboard is not in pairing mode, or is still paired with another
    device.
  • Lower standby current on the Freenove FNK0104 boards: before
    going to sleep, the device now also puts the LCD controller and the
    touch controller to sleep and releases the MicroSD card, instead of
    only switching the backlight off. The LCD controller change also
    applies to the Viewe UEED035HV display. While the device is awake,
    these boards also lower the CPU clock from 160 to 80 MHz whenever
    there is nothing to do, which reduces the running current.
  • M5Stack PaperMono status LED stays off: the RGB status LED is
    now kept dark both while the device runs and while it sleeps,
    including an LED left lit by the stock firmware. Before sleeping,
    the device also switches off the microphone supply and the 5 V
    Grove port, so less battery is used in standby.
