Version 1.6.1

Version 1.6.0

This release includes the following changes:

• The GUI now uses the latest version of esptool - allowing it to run correctly on Linux
  • The built-in copy of esptool v3.3 has been removed
  • The release build workflow installs the latest version of esptool; pyinstaller builds it into the executables. The stub_flasher json files are added automatically.
  • v1.6.0 of the GUI is built with v4.7.0 of esptool
• The maximum baud rate is limited to 460800 on MacOS. (921600 fails on Mac Mini.)

Version 1.5.2

This release:

• Changes the reset strategy - for the Facet
• There are occasions where the Facet can become stuck in the ESP32 bootloader after a successful firmware upload
• After the firmware upload, the GUI attempts a 'normal' reset via esptool
• If the normal reset is unsuccessful, the user can manually perform a TeraTerm-like reset by clicking the Reset ESP32 button
  • This toggles the RTS and DTR lines manually (using PySerial) to duplicate the reset generated by TeraTerm

Version 1.5.1

In this release:

• The port list is automatically updated when the COM Port combo box is clicked
  • This change made the Refresh button redundant - it has been removed

Version 1.5.0

• First full release with Linux, MacOS, Windows and Python installers / executables
• The Uploader now resets the ESP32 automatically after uploading new firmware
