What’s new with V2.0.0

Extended battery life:

  • Infinite wifi retry, infinite HTTP response waiting time and other long battery-draining exceptions are addressed with a "smart" watchdog.
  • The wake-up frequency now adapts based on a seven-point profile correlated with battery voltage.

User experience improvements:

  • Realtime balance and payment updates also happen under battery power after manual wake-ups, thanks to new awake/sleep status decision logic.
  • Notification code enhancements that help the user to easily troubleshoot any possible errors.
  • On-screen indication when the device is sleeping vs awake.
  • New on-screen software update visibility.
  • New startup screen logo by Bitko.

Optional new features:

  • Fiat balance and Bitcoin price with configurable fiat currency (USD, EUR, DKK,...)
  • Random boot-up 'quotes and memes' with configurable prelude.
  • Show last updated day and time.

Removed features:

  • Disabled HAL sensor value as it wasn't useful.
