0.42.1 - the keyboard that died while the machine slept
A target woke from sleep with no power on its USB port, and the device could only say "USB is not active". It tells the two silences apart now.
-
0.42.0 - two things can no longer share a pin
A settings write that would put two things on one GPIO is refused, a capture driver announces itself instead of being called by name, and a keyboard the target has forgotten can be re-plugged from the console.

A second printed case, and a YouTube channel
Someone asked for a printed box, someone else made one, and now there are two. Plus a channel for the short recordings that were scattered across posts.
-
0.41.1 - a fix that was there and did nothing
I shipped a WiFi fix and never called the function. The person who reported the bug found the missing line himself. While checking that release I found a crash that had been hiding behind three different symptoms.
-
0.40.0 - two more boards, one with no wire at all
A dev kit that carries both links, and a board whose only way in is WiFi. The second one came from the person who owns it.
-
A case, printed by somebody else
Colin Hickey printed one for the ESP32-P4-ETH with the C790 inside, and published the model on Printables.
-
0.33.0 - rev 3.x images for the NANO and the Guition
The same board can arrive with either family of chip, and the wrong image simply refuses to flash. Both boards now publish both.
-
0.26.0 - one cable in a rack, and images for the other chip
A build for the PoE board, so a KVM in a rack needs one cable, plus images for rev 3.x silicon beside the existing ones.
-
0.21.0 - a little screen on the box itself
Solder on a small OLED or a round colour LCD and the device shows its address, its link and its health without a browser at all.
-
0.17.0 - WiFi, and a hotspot for when it fails
On boards with an ESP32-C6 the KVM can run over WiFi, put up its own hotspot when the network is gone, and open the console on your phone by itself.
-
0.9.0 - pressing the power button from a browser
Two cheap optocoupler modules let the device press the target's power and reset buttons and read its power LED back.
-
0.7.0 - a second board, and a release for each
The Espressif ESP32-P4 Function EV board joins the Waveshare one, and CI now builds and publishes every board separately.
-
0.1.2 - the first working KVM
The first tagged builds. HDMI capture, a keyboard and mouse the target cannot tell from real ones, a web console over HTTPS, and updates over the network.
