The current version of PiFire has implemented a compatibility layer so that it doesn't break compatibility with the current Android App.  If you have a non-standard probe setup or more than two food probes, you may see issues.  There may still be bugs, so please do submit issues on GitHub if you experience any.)**
-* **NEW!** Recipes / Recipe Mode - Integrated recipe creation and a new mode for developing a recipe 'program' that will control the grill for you and follow the recipe that was programmed.  
-* **NEW!** Updated and re-written dashboards.  The dashboard has been refreshed with a new look.  New 'basic' and 'default' dashboards. If you are technically inclined, you can even develop your own dashboard.  
-* **NEW!** Control panel everywhere! Allow your control panel to be displayed on almost all pages in PiFire.
-* **NEW!** Lid open detection during hold mode to pause the controller and prevent overshoots.

 * 6/2022 - Release v1.3.3 - Lot's of changes for this latest stable release for June 2022. It's been a busy couple of months and we've had a few bug fixes pulled into this latest version, including an installer bug. The display modules have been completely overhauled in this latest release to improve responsiveness and capabilities. We've added a module for the ILI1394 with rotary encoder support, which is a nice option for those who like to use a dial with push button to interface the menu system. When doing the update, consider doing a full reboot (instead of just restarting the server) to ensure connected display devices are fully reset.
 * 7/2022 - Release v1.3.4 - Another monthly release with some bug fixes and some new features. The biggest new feature of this month was the addition of Annotations in the history graph. This gives you helpful tags on the graph (see below) with indicators of the mode changes. Of course you can turn this off in the history page if you don't like it.
 * 10/2022 - Release v1.3.5 - Bug fixes, feature refinements and brand new features galore in this latest release.  Added a new ADS1115 module (using Adafruits Circuit Python), due to some reports of issues with the existing ADS1115 module. These can be optionally selected in the configuration wizard.  PWM Fan Support and a boatload of code cleanup was introduced, thanks to contributor @weberbox.  Support for saving cook files was introduced in this version, so that you can go back to older cooks, edit some of the information and add images and comments.  Added a Prime Mode to allow you to prime the fire pot with pellets prior to a cook, and even prime & startup.  Added estimated pellet usage to the pellet manager, which will attempt to track just how many pellets you have used since your last load of pellets.  Added Apprise notification capability thanks to contributor @calonmerc.  320x200 displays have been update and added timers to specific modes. And even more!  
-* **6/2023** - Release v1.5.0 - Arguably one of the biggest overhauls to PiFire since it's inception.  The Probe system has been completely refactored to allow for multiple probe sensing devices (i.e. ADS1115, MAX31865, or even Virtual Probes to augment your inputs).  This extension of the probe system, allows for any number of probe inputs to be tracked in PiFire, allowing from notifications and tracking of history for each probe.  The sky is the limit!  With this change the the probe architecture, a number of other things needed to be modified/updated, including the notification system, the history/charting, the dashboards, cookfiles and recipe modes.  Note that if you are updating to this version, your settings will be upgraded in the process and you will not be able to roll back to a previous version (unless you restore from a backup of your settings).

+* **11/2023** - Release v1.6.0 - In this month comes another huge update with lots of new features and bug fixes.  Many thanks to the users from discord that have been testing along the way (as well as submitting some bugs), what a great community we have!  Many of these features have been deployed on our development branch for some time, so they should be relatively stable.  Please do file issues on GitHub if you find any new bugs with the formal release.  With that, enjoy and happy grilling/smoking!
