Added

  • Indicate that the hub is shutting down by quickly flashing the hub light for
    half a second. This makes it easier to see when you can stop pressing the
    button.
  • Indicate that the SPIKE Prime hub is booting and shutting down by fading
    the stop sign in and out.
  • Implemented iterator protocol on geometry.Matrix class.
  • Added support for multi-file projects (pybricks-micropython#115).
  • Added new System.storage() API (support#85).

Changed

  • Battery full indication (green light) comes on earlier (support#647).
  • New indication for over-charging battery (blinking green light).
  • On Move Hub, City Hub, and Technic Hub, programs can now be restarted with
    the button after downloading them. They are saved on shutdown.
  • Improved program download process. Reduces the likelihood of getting errors
    about incompatible .mpy files when accidentally entering characters in the
    terminal window when no program is active.
  • On Prime Hub and Essential Hub, there is no longer a wait time after boot
    before you can start programs.
  • On Prime Hub and Essential Hub, the user program is now stored in a section
    of the external flash that is not used by any file system of other known
    firmwares, in order to avoid compatibility issues when changing firmware.
  • Restored the Motor.speed() method and DriveBase equivalent to provide
    speed as a numerical derivative of the motor position, instead of a
    model-based estimate. For most use cases, this is a more intuitive result
    because this speed value is not affected by mechanical load.
  • When using the REPL, everything from all Pybricks modules was automatically
    imported for convenience. Now, MicroPython modules are also automatically
    imported (support#741).
  • Updated Bluetooth to Pybricks Profile v1.2.0.
  • Bluetooth now uses random private address instead of static public address
    (support#600).

Fixed

  • Fixed motors going out of sync when starting program (support#679).
  • Fixed motor torque signal overflowing under load (support#729).
  • Fixed city hub turning back on after shutdown (support#692).
  • Fixed IMU I2C bus lockup on SPIKE hubs (support#232).
  • Fixed REPL history corrupt after soft reset (support#699).
  • Fixed "ValueError: incompatible .mpy file" when pressing the button when
    there is no program yet (support#599).
