0.7.0

The following release notes were copied from CHANGELOG.md.

Added

• CLI command to emulate stop button being pressed.
• CLI command to print active alarms.
• CLI now also sends Serial_change_character when alarm configuration changes.
• CLI command to print all status information at once (status). Useful as a
  response to Serial_change_character to know what changed.
• CLI status command now prints display backlight status.
• Ambient LED can now be controlled by snooze button long press.

0.6.1

The following release notes were copied from CHANGELOG.md.

Fixed

• Speaker clicking when going from noTone to tone or silence.

0.6.0

The following release notes were copied from CHANGELOG.md.

Added

• Support for PWM generated sine wave audio output.
• Support for melodies.
• CLI now sends the BEL character (0x07) every time the state of the hardware (ambient, lamp) or settings (inhibit) changes.
• Native unit tests.
• Support for the new PCB.
• LCD backlight dimming (night mode).
• version (git commit id, tag and similar) in ver CLI command.

Changed

• EEPROM data storage format. The section that contains alarms has been moved. All preexisting alarm configuration will be lost after upgrading to this version. WARNING braking changes in EEPROM handling. You should be able to migrate your current alarm config using PyAlarmClock:

  import PyAlarmClock
  ac = PyAlarmClock.SerialAlarmClock('/dev/ttyUSB0')
  alarms = ac.read_alarms()
  ac.close()
  
  # Upload new firmware now
  
  ac = PyAlarmClock.SerialAlarmClock('/dev/ttyUSB0')
  for index,alarm in enumerate(alarms):
      ac.write_alarm(index, alarm)
  ac.save_EEPROM()
  ac.close()

• Default value of Alarm_ambient_fade_out_duration is now 10 seconds instead of 2.
• Firmware is now compiled using PlatformIO instead of Arduino IDE. A Makefile has been added.
• Buttons now need external pull-up resistors.
• Disabled days of the week are now indicated by a - instead of a space in GUI configuration of alarms.
• Format of build time in ver CLI command.

Removed

• DEBUG EEPROM dump after boot - this is no longer useful now that we have the eer CLI command.

Fixed

• Potential out-of-bounds write in SerialCLI.
• Uninitialized variable in PWMDimmer.

0.5.0

The following release notes were copied from CHANGELOG.md.

Added

• Support for backspace key in Serial CLI
• Buzzer should beep when RTC failure is detected

Fixed

• Incompatibility with new RTClib

Changed

• CLI rework. It should be much easier to parse. Commands now output YAML.
  WARNING: breaking changes in CLI

0.4.1

The following release notes were copied from CHANGELOG.md

Fixed

• Alarm could be missed if it's first scheduled activation is within a 1 minute wide window at around 43 days of runtime

0.4.0

The following release notes are just copied from docs/CHANGELOG.md

[0.4.0] - 2021-03-09

Added

• Watchdog timer (WDT)
• Ambient starts Alarm_ambient_dimming_duration before the alarm triggers, so that it already has full brightness when the alarm triggers.
• Countdown timer feature.

Changed

• dis command in CLI changed to en-off for consistency
  WARNING: breaking API change
• CLI command recognition optimized
• Alarm indexes in GUI now start from 0 instead of 1 (to be consistent with CLI).
• Up to 16 alarms
• Date and time format changed to ISO8601. WARNING: CLI commands changed.
• Default Alarm_timeout changed from 30 minutes to 15 minutes

0.3.1

The following release notes are just copied from docs/CHANGELOG.md

[0.3.1] - 2020-07-18

Fixed

• Alarm disables buzzer even if it did not enable it.
• Alarm disables buzzer and lamp twice when stopped in snooze.

0.3.0

The following release notes are just copied from docs/CHANGELOG.md

[0.3.0] - 2020-07-16

Added

• Unit tests
• Doxygen documentation (incomplete)
• "Skip" added to Alarm "Enabled" options
• Timeout for alarms - the alarm stops if it is active for too long
• User input validation for the date supplied to the sd command and in the
  RTC section of the GUI.

Changed

• Better LCD backlight control

Fixed

• Buzzer collisions - multiple alarms active at the same time caused
  unpredictable behavior of the buzzer

0.2.1

The following release notes are just copied from docs/CHANGELOG.md

[0.2.1] - 2020-02-14

Fixed

• Alarm signalization option 'lamp' could not be unset due to a command processing error

0.2.0

The following release notes are just copied from docs/CHANGELOG.md

[0.2.0] - 2020-02-14

Added

• CHANGELOG.md
• Checklist for releasing
• manual.md
• GUI - 16x2 LCD display and rotary encoder
  WARNING: New pinout: 2, 3, A2 - encoder; lamp is now on pin 10
  • Inhibit function (see manual)
• Mode for active buzzers
• CLI commands for controlling the ambient LED, fading reworked
• GUI interface for controlling the ambient LED
• CLI commands for controlling the lamp pin
• GUI button for controlling the lamp pin
• CLI commands for controlling alarm inhibit

Changed

• Repository tree (source is now in src directory, ...)
• Checklist for tests
• Constants are now separated from user-configurable settings
• Alarm option 'Enabled' can now be Single|Repeat|Off.
  This unlocks the ability to configure an alarm to automatically disable after
  it rings once.
  WARNING: Old enabled alarms written in EEPROM will now
  become 'Single' enabled.
• Alarm record format in the EEPROM
  WARNING: This breaks old EEPROM records and may perform a factory reset
  when first used, because minutes and/or hours of the old record may exceed
  the limits (23 h 59 min) when interpreted as the new format.
• Serial CLI now requires commands (messages) to be terminated by CR, LF or CRLF
• Serial CLI error codes reworked
• Setting descriptions are now in src/AlarmClock/Settings.h

Removed

• Long forms of some commands in Serial CLI
• Visual Studio support (I don't use it anymore, so I can't update the files)

Fixed

• Snooze count being offset by 1 (2 meant 1,
  0 wasn't handled properly ('last ringing' feature did not trigger))
• dow0;1 not failing although it should
• Arduino requesting current time from the DS3231 with very small intervals
• Comparison of results of floating point math using == in PWMfade
• PWMfade (ambient LED dimmer) should now be more fluent
• PWMfade renamed to PWMDimmer
