Changes

  • The ESP32-P4-WIFI6-Touch-LCD-4.3 is supported again. It's built,
    published and offered by the web flasher
    alongside the LCD-5, the S3-4.3C BOX and the X 8" box. It had been dropped in
    v0.12.2; if you're running one, updates work normally again from this release
    on. It is the same board as the LCD-5 — same processor, radio, audio,
    battery, SD card and paddle wiring — with a 4.3" 800×480 screen instead of a
    5" 1280×720 one. Choose between the two on screen size and a small price
    difference; nothing else about them differs.
  • Finer control over the warm-up chime volume. The four fixed levels (25 /
    50 / 75 / 100 %) are replaced by a slider with – and + buttons either
    side: drag to get close, tap to nudge 5 % at a time, and either way it plays a
    note at the new level so you can set it by ear. Just as importantly the scale
    is now even to the ear — before, everything above about 40 % sounded much
    the same and the quiet end jumped in big steps, because the setting was
    applied directly as signal strength rather than as loudness. Your existing
    setting is carried over at the same volume
    , so nothing changes how your
    machine sounds: if it was on 50 % it now reads 80 % and is exactly as loud as
    before.
  • Removed "Restart display" from Settings. It was an escape hatch for the
    rare display glitch that was root-caused and fixed in v0.12.3, so there is
    nothing left for it to fix. The automatic re-alignment after every boot is
    unchanged.

Apollo 2 firmware v0.13.0 — one flashable image per supported
Waveshare board (bootloader + partitions + app combined; flash at
offset 0).

Easiest install: the web flasher —
plug the board in and flash from Chrome, no tools needed.

The flasher upgrades in place: your paired machine, Wi-Fi and
settings survive unless you explicitly choose to erase.

Command-line alternative — note the attached .bin is a full
image
, so flashing it this way DOES clear saved settings:

esptool.py write_flash 0 apollo2-<board>-v0.13.0.bin

(apollo2-debug-symbols-v0.13.0.tar.gz is for developers:
the .elf files inside decode crash dumps downloaded from a device's
/coredump page.)
