Release 0.96

Hotfix

Release 0.95

v0.95

• Rebranding AWTRIX Light to AWTRIX 3

• Enhancements:

  • Implemented median and mean filters for more accurate processing of raw data from LDR and BATT sensors.
  • Added Cyrillic support, limited to UPPERCASE letters. Issue #467 closed. 🇷🇺
  • Introduced overlays for weather animations accessible via the /settings API or customapp/notifications. Available overlays: clear, snow, drizzle, rain, storm, thunder, frost. closes #454

• Features:

  • Added AP Mode timeout configuration via dev.json. ⏱️
  • The hostname isnt the same as the MQTT prefix anymore. Instead you can set "hostname" in your dev.json. 🏠
  • Supports SSIDs with 32 characters. 🔒
  • Web port can now be changed via dev.json. 🌐
  • Unified firmware versions for peripherals, allowing Ulanzi firmware to control DFPlayer and read various temperature sensors and vice versa. Only port mapping differs. DFPlayer can be enabled in dev.json. 🔄

• Bug Fixes:

  • Resolved issue where using custom apps and sending text in colored fragments prevented reverting to a single color. Issue #464 closed. 🐛
  • Fixed URL forwarding in the web interface. Issue #501 closed. 🔗

• Miscellaneous:

  • Added functionality to control the volume of the buzzer or DFPlayer via on-screen menu or settings API. 🔊
  • Enabled reset button on the back of Ulanzi; holding it for 5 seconds initiates a full reset of the AWTRIX firmware. 🔧

Release 0.94

• Adds notification at newyear with animation and jingle (hopefully xD). You have to enable it via dev.json
• Adds scaffold for a first awtrix light game (not usable yet, but youre welcome to collaborate)
• Adds FAQ to documentation

Happy New Year! May 2024 bring you joy, success, and endless possibilities!

Release 0.93

• Changes the snowfall overlay to opt-in. Set 'let_it_snow' to true if you want it back.
  Because of this function and the sometimes harsh comments about it, I realized how few users know what awtrix can actually do and how it works. I therefore recommend using the holidays to read through the official documentation. The official Discord server will also be happy to help you exploit the full potential of AWTRIX.

• Fixes spacing in capital letter Ö in Rainbow mode

Merry Christmas🌟🎅🎁

Release 0.92

• Adds christmas snow overlay during holidays. Its enabled by default, you can turn it off by set let_it_snow to false in the dev.json

• Fixes bitmap y offset in drawing function.

• Allows to set the DFPlayer volume via settings api

• Fixes a bug where stats are not send if you set 'sensor_reading' to false on the awtrix2_upgrade firmware.

• fixes x position movement for base64 icons

• base64 icons are detected first by stringlength (>64) instead of trailing '=' before encoding, to save processing power.

Since everyone finds the brightness control either too bright or too dark, a few new factors (ldr_factor, ldr_gamma) have been added in dev.json that can be played with.

Happy Holidays to the AWTRIX Community! 🎄🎉 May your season be filled with joy, laughter, and wonderful memories. Merry Christmas! 🌟🎅🎁
