Firmware Changelogs?

Hi,

So I flashed my PuckJS firmware to 1.90 following the instructions given. Pity I had to use my phone to do it, there ought to be a way to do it from the IDE or from the command line.

But I noticed that in the zip binary you are told to download there is no changelog. So where is the changelog for the firmware documented? I would like to know what new or deprecated features are changes and what bugs there were that have been squashed.

Anyone know where to find the details on this?

Thanks.

There will be - I'm just waiting on Nordic as they have said they are in the process of developing a JavaScript firmware updater (no point duplicating work that'll be done by the manufacturer of the chip :)).

I would like to know what new or deprecated features are changes and what bugs there were that have been squashed.

That zip goes straight to the firmware updater program, so it's not really meant to have any extra info in it.

Proper changelog is here: http://www.espruino.com/ChangeLog

Or if you're interested in what's been done but not yet released, you can see it here: https://github.com/espruino/Espruino/blob/master/ChangeLog

Fair enough. Seems quite a lot of changes over last few months so it is important for people to upgrade to 1.90 asap.

Thanks.

Yes - There are one or two outstanding bugs I'd like to fix first, but I should be releasing 1v91 next week as well.

Nothing, however someone (Uri) got bored waiting and wrote their own: https://urish.github.io/web-bluetooth-secure-dfu/

It uses ES6 so I'd need to check it doesn't break the IDE when loaded in older browsers, but it should be possible to include it.
