WLED Beta Release 0.15.0-b1

Welcome to WLED 0.15.0-b1 "Kōsen"!

May the ray of light inspire you to do great things.

WLED 0.15.0-b1 is major new step since the introduction of 2D and audioreactive features to WLED.

This version's highlights are:

• UI refinements, performance tweaks and included simplified mode
• Multi-WiFi support. Add up to 3 (or more via cusom compile) WiFis to connect to (with help from @JPZV)
• ESP-NOW sync. Sync your WLED devices without WiFi.
• ESP-NOW Wiz remote JSON overrides (similar to IR JSON) & WIZ Smart Button support (#3547 by @micw)
• "SuperSync" from WLED MM (by @MoonModules)
• Per port/output Auto Brightness Limiter (ABL)
• ColoOrderMap W channel swap (color order overrides now have W swap)
• Added PWM frequency selection to UI (Settings) and better low brightness level handling (12-bit resolution)
• Better reverse proxy support (nested paths)
• Implement global JSON API boolean toggle (i.e. instead of "var":true or "var":false -> "var":"t").
• Three (optional) Audio palettes (Audioreactive usermod required, credit @netmindz)
• Reduced RAM usage for ESP8266 which may allow more stable operation
• Virtual Art-Net RGBW option (#3783 by @shammy642)
• DMX: S2 & C3 support via modified ESPDMX
• Product/Brand override so OEM may choose their own branding (API & AP SSID) (#3750 by @Moustachauve)
• Harmonic (AKA much nicer) Random Cycle palette (#3729 by @DedeHai)
• Temporary AP. Use your WLED in public with temporary AP to allow configuration. Includes new JSON API to enable WiFi/AP on button/IR press.
• APA106 support (#3580 by @itstefanjanos)
• BREAKING: Effect: updated Palette effect to support 2D (#3683 by @TripleWhy)
• Compile-time WLED time overrides (WLED_NTP_ENABLED, WLED_TIMEZONE, WLED_UTC_OFFSET, WLED_LAT and WLED_LON)
• En-/dis-able LED maps when receiving realtime data (#3554 by @ezcGman)
• BREAKING: Reduced number of segments (12) on ESP8266
• Enhanced PSRAM support (double size JSON buffer, preset caching, larger ledmaps, up to 2k pixels, etc); included new binary for classic ESP32 with PSRAM (WROVER models, includes Pico)
• Restore presets from browser local storage in case of corruption
• and numerous other improvements, refinements and bugfixes.

Please see the changelog for a detailed list of changes!

WARNING:
This version includes binaries for ESP8266 which feature double CPU clock frequency (160MHz) distinguished by the _160 name suffix. Although it has been tested on many variants of ESP8266 there may be devices that do not support overclocking the CPU. If your device is in places hard to reach or difficult to flash DO NOT use these binaries unless you test them on a similar device first. And even then there are no guarantees that a particular device will run correctly with overclocked CPU.
In case you do update with 160MHz version and your device fails to boot or operates incorrectly you may need to connect it to a computer and flash it serially using USB connection. Please erase flash prior to doing so.

A huge thank you to the WLED community - to everyone who has contributed to development, documentation and testing, and to all early adopters who provided lots of feedback and sparked many discussions on how to improve things. You all made WLED better and made this version happen! ❤️
