We haven't released a new version of InfiniTime for almost a year, so we are very happy to release InfiniTime 1.15.0 today! The list of changes is quite impressive! I would like to thank everyone who took part one way or another in this new milestone for the InfiniTime project!
Always-on display is a highly requested feature for a long time. Even if the hardware of the PineTime is not designed for such feature, @KaffeinatedKat and @mark9064 managed to make it possible by doing a lot of power and code optimizations. When enabled, the AOD feature will dim the brightness to the lowest level and put the display in a low-power mode to save as much battery power as possible while still allowing the user to read the time. According to our measurements and testing, the PineTime should last around 2-3 days in this mode.
You can enable the AOD in the "Display" settings
InfiniTime 1.15 also adds a new weather forecast application that displays the forecast for the next 5 days. Thanks to @vkareh for this nice addition!
A new dice rolling app (by @yusufmte) was also added in this new release of InfiniTime. This new app will come in handy for tabletop players, for example.
The alarm is now saved in the settings file in the SPI NOR flash. This will ensure that the alarm is restored whenever the watch reboots (after an upgrade, for example). Thanks @NeroBurner !
InfiniTime 1.15 also brings many other improvements to the firmware, the CI and the documentation, along with bug fixes and code improvements!
Another small but notable change is that the watch's default year is now set at compile time, so you don't need to increase the year counter since 1970 when you want to manually set the time! Thanks to @FintasticMan for this nice quality of life improvement!
I would also like to take the opportunity to welcome @mark9064 in the @InfiniTimeOrg/core-developers Team! @mark9064 contributed to many high quality additions and improvements to InfiniTime, and I'm really happy he accepted to join our team!
