Welcome to WLED 0.13.0-b7 "Toki"!
Time is the most valuable thing in the world. So let's use it right!
This version's highlights are (in addition to the ones from 0.13.0-b6)
- Full segment UDP sync (options, bounds, or both)
- Segment light capability API
- A plethora of bugfixes and improvements
Update Notice
The new default ESP32 partition layout (1MB FS) is incompatible with the filesystem partition of the previous layout (1.5MB FS).
Please note that config and presets will be wiped upon updating an ESP32 from 0.13.0-b4 or earlier to 0.13.0-b6 via USB or the web installer.
ESP32 OTA updates and all ESP8266 update methods are unaffected , your data will be kept when doing a wireless update.
Why doesn't Blynk work?
New signups for the legacy Blynk app are closed and not a lot of you are using it.
My benchmarks have shown that on ESP32 with huge LED counts, the framerate is improved when it is not compiled in.
If you use it, don't worry, as you can still compile it in!
Why does my OTA update fail?
With WLED 0.13.0-b5, we have moved to a new flash layout with 1.5MB space for the program instead of 1MB.
For the first time, in this release the program size for the ESP32 Ethernet build exceeds the available space on the old layout.
I provide a different binary small enough for OTA updating using the old layout, however this is missing the following features:
ESP32-ETH: Blynk, Cronixie, Hue sync
Please consider switching to the new layout to use these features and to ensure you can OTA update to future releases.
The process is as follows:
- Update to
WLED_0.13.0-b7_ESP32_Ethernet_OTA.bin - Go to Security & Updates settings and backup your Configuration and Presets files
- Use https://install.wled.me to install the full binary.
NOTE that this will erase all data if the previous version is older than 0.13.0-b5 OR is still using the old 1.5MB layout. - Connect your board to WiFi, restore your Configuration and Presets in Security & Updates settings and reboot.
