Announcements that start right away, a longer-lasting Echo Wall Clock, and the first-run screen in your language.
- Announcements play as they arrive:
tts.speakandassist_satellite.announcestart about a second in, instead of after the whole file, so a text-to-speech engine that speaks sentence by sentence, such as OmniVoice, is heard right away, and a slow one no longer fails after 30 seconds. Thanks to alexreddy78 for the report (#559). - Echo Wall Clock: the clock's Bluetooth link is kept in sniff mode, so its radio sleeps between updates and its batteries last much longer. Timers still ring on time. Thanks, rjlee (#529).
- Clock: every clock style now drifts a few pixels over time, not just the Classic clock, so none leaves a shadow on the panel. Thanks to redblack2412 for the report (#560).
- First run is shown in the screen's language.
- Pop-ups: a calendar pop-up tapped away on another Show stays away after this Show restarts (#558).
- Person detection: its model (about 300 KB) is no longer built in. The Show downloads it the first time person detection is turned on; until it arrives the Person sensor stays off, and the screen still wakes on motion.
