Release v1.0.0 · microbit-foundation/microbit-connection

This release contains breaking changes (e.g. flash progress interface, connect signature, device error codes).

Detailed notes on changes can be found in MIGRATATION.md. Migrating USB-only code requires minor tweaks only.

Highlights

Split entrypoints for USB and Bluetooth
Support DFU and partial flashing on iOS/Android platforms (for Capacitor Android/iOS apps) in support of in-progress work for Capacitor apps for CreateAI
Add BLE APIs for missing services (pin, temperature, event services — including higher level API for gesture and button event service)
Improved demo app with Capacitor support for Android/iOS
Drop workarounds that testing suggest no longer apply after BLE changes
