0.56.2 - Wi-Fi that holds a stream
Over Wi-Fi the P4 ran out of internal RAM as soon as the console loaded. Two buffers moved to PSRAM, and a FireBeetle 2 that stalled now streams without a break.
-
0.56.0 - two dual-band boards, and the right image for every chip
The Function EV and the WIFI6 now come with an ESP32-C5 for 5 GHz Wi-Fi. Older Function EV units and newer ESP32-P4-Modules get the image their chip needs, and the flasher tells you how to read the chip.

0.52.3 - Fixed: firmware install from Home Assistant, and a more reliable MQTT integration
Pressing Install on the firmware card in Home Assistant gave an error and did nothing. One missing field. Then I went through the rest of the MQTT side.
-
Compiled for a debugger all along
0.46.2 is the first build at -O2. Also why a device with 314 KB of free RAM could not find 155 KB of it, and a watchdog that now reboots instead of writing a warning.
-
Four releases at once - crash dumps, a hotspot, four more boards
0.42.2 to 0.45.0 in one post: a panic now leaves a file you can read, a device with no password and no cable puts out its own hotspot, any key press wakes a sleeping target, and four more ESP32-P4 boards have images.
-
A serial monitor, and readers for firmware images, panics and EDIDs
A serial monitor that needs no terminal, and three readers: a firmware image, a panic dump, an EDID. All in the browser, nothing uploaded.
-
0.41.0 - more of the KVM in Home Assistant
An update entity, a camera holding a still of the target's screen, the jiggler as a switch, and the numbers worth having when something is wrong.
-
0.37.0 - the screen as two kilobytes
Work a machine over a phone tether by sending the characters instead of the video, hand a dashboard a view-only token, and go back to any published release.
-
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.
-
0.31.0 - updates that take on the first try
A chip fault during its own restart made updates look like they reverted themselves. Fixed, along with uploads that died part-way over HTTPS.
-
0.29.0 - you can watch an update happen
The console takes over the screen during an update, names the step it is on, and afterwards says which version actually came back.
-
0.25.0 - the device keeps its own log
A log that survives a restart, so the boot that failed is still readable after the device has come back on something that works.
-
0.22.0 - two firmware slots, and a way back
The firmware panel shows both slots and can boot the other one, so going back to a build that worked needs no cable.
-
0.6.0 - the console gets out of the way
The firmware version becomes a badge that shows updates and their progress, diagnostics and media move out of Settings, and the whole button rail can switch sides.
-
0.3.0 - it knows what the target is running
The device guesses the target's operating system from how it plugs in, keeps a rescue image in its own flash, and stops undoing updates that were fine.
