Release v4.4.1

Changes in this Release

• Breaking changes: this firmware requires Firefly Luciferin v1.7.2
• Big improvements on frametime and latency.
• Light firmware users are now notified when a new version is available.
• Doubled the default baud rate to allow higher framerate.
• Added a small benchmark, Firefly Luciferin is now able to detect if your PC is grapping the screen too fast and your microcontroller can't keep up.
• Fixed a bug that prevented ESP8266 to use GPIO2
• Fixed a bug that prevented Firefly Luciferin from updating its companion firmware while the bias lighting effect is on.

Release v4.3.6

Changes in this Release

• Breaking changes: this firmware requires Firefly Luciferin v1.6.8
• Glow Worm Luciferin firmware is now able to auto calibrate the number of LEDs in use to minimize latency without performance wasting. The information on the LEDs in use is received via the Firefly Luciferin PC software.
• ESP8266 was not able to run more than 250 LEDs, fixed
• Improved ESP32 support
• Arduino Bootstrapper update (v.1.7.5)

Release v4.3.0

Changes in this Release

• Custom Digital Pin, useful for supporting pre build board like the QuinLED-Dig-Uno
• Luciferin now supports more than 500 LEDs
• Lib update and optimizations
• Arduino Bootstrapper update (v.1.7.3)
• If you are using MQTT, Glow Worm Luciferin now sends framerate information to this topic "lights/glowwormluciferin"

Release v4.2.3

Changes in this Release

• At 30FPS, in 10 minutes, Firefly Luciferin sends 18000 messages to its companion firmware, in this interval some messages can be malformed, this creates some weird flashes to the LED strip. Added an improved checksum to avoid errors.
• Ambient light effect "remember its state" when you suspend and wake up your PC.

NOTE: requires Firefly Luciferin firmware v1.4.2 or newer.

Release v4.2.1

Changes in this Release

• It's now possible to use Glow Worm Luciferin firmware like a "lamp" with static colors. Desired color can be choosed via a color picker with Firefly Luciferin PC software.
• Added an Eye Care option, if enabled LEDs will never turn off in black scenes, a soft and gentle light is used instead.
• Added the possibility to choose the desired brightness of the LED strip.
• Auto start ambient light effect or turn on/off light when you start Firefly Luciferin PC software.
• Added the possibility to choose the desired capture framerate, 30FPS is the recommended framerate for low resource usage and good performances.
• When you stop the ambient light effect, LEDs automatically turns off.

Release v4.1.4

Changes in this Release

• Added a ready to use firmware for Espressif ESP32 devices
• When you flash FULL firmware, you can now specify a "device name", this is useful for connecting multiple ESP devices to the same MQTT server.
• Wireless updates. (This feature is enabled since Glow Worm Luciferin FULL v4.1.4 and Firefly Luciferin v1.3.0)
• Improved latency
• Arduino Bootstrapper update (v.1.7.0)
• Fixed an error that occurs on some MQTT servers. (Client LUCIFERIN has exceeded timeout, disconnecting)

Release v4.0.3

Changes in this Release

• MQTT is now able to drive the bias lighting effect without the needs of the serial port, Luciferin is now completely Wireless.
• Faster output stream.
• Serial disconnection turn off LEDs.
• Update home_assistant_glow_worm_package.yaml
• Arduino Bootstrapper update (v.1.6.0)

Release v3.8.0

Changes in this Release

• Project Luciferin, first release.
  Luciferin is a generic term for the light-emitting compound found in organisms that generate bioluminescence like Fireflies and Glow Worms.
  Firefly Luciferin is a Java Fast Screen Capture PC software designed for Glow Worm Luciferin firmware,
  those two software create the perfect Bias Lighting and Ambient Light system for your PC.
  Differently from other solutions, Firefly and Glow Worm Luciferin are designed to work together for the best experience possible.

Release v3.7.1

Changes in this Release

• Continuous Integration, binary firmware is now uploaded on every release.

Release v3.6.1

Changes in this Release

• Arduino Bootstrapper update (v.1.5.0)
