Notable changes in 10.1.0 from 10.0.x

Add mipidsi module to support MIPI DSI displays. Currently enabled for ESP32-P4.
Fix problems with presenting user-mounted SD cards over USB.
Update espressif ESP-IDF to v5.5.1 and support ESP32-C61.
Fix long-standing Thonny disconnect issues.
Add hashlib.new("sha256").
Add bitmaptools.replace_color().

Download from circuitpython.org

Firmware downloads are available from the downloads page on circuitpython.org. The site makes it easy to select the correct file and language for your board.

Port status

CircuitPython has a number of "ports" that are the core implementations for different microcontroller families. Stability varies on a per-port basis. As of this release, these ports are consider stable (but see Known Issues below):

atmel-samd: Microchip SAMD21, SAMx5x
cxd56: Sony Spresense
espressif: Espressif ESP32, ESP32-C2, ESP32-C3, ESP32-C6, ESP32-C61, ESP32-H2, ESP32-S2, ESP32-S3
nordic: Nordic nRF52840, nRF52833
raspberrypi: Raspberry Pi RP2040, RP2350
stm: ST STM32F4 chip family

These ports are considered alpha and will have bugs and missing functionality:

analog: Analog Devices MAX32690
broadcom: Raspberry Pi boards such as RPi 4, RPi Zero 2W
espressif: , ESP32-P4
litex: fomu
mimxrt10xx: NXP i.MX RT10xxx
renode: hardware simulator
silabs: Silicon Labs MG24 family
stm: ST non-STM32F4 chip families
zephyr: multiplatform RTOS: testing with Nordic nRF5340, nRF54H20, nRF54L15, nRF7002; NXP i.MX RT1170, MCXN947; Renesas RA6M5, RA8D1; ST STM32H7, STM32N657, STM32U7,
