Kindle Dash Versions Save

Changed

• Only call eips if fetch-dashboard succesfully completes
• Ensure a full screen refresh is triggered after wake from sleep
• Build ht from upstream sources, using rusttls instead of vendored openssl
• Replace ht 0.4.0 with xh 0.16.1 (project was renamed)

⚠️ This release contains a (potentially) breaking change ⚠️

ht, the bundled http client, was upgraded from 0.4.0 to 0.16.1. The project was renamed to xh in the meantime. Some of the command-line options of ht might not be compatible anymore, check out the xh documentation for details.

Upgrading

1. Download the latest release on your computer and extract it.
2. Copy the files to the Kindle, excluding the local directory. For example: rsync -vur --exclude=local ./ kindle:/mnt/us/dashboard.
3. Update your local/fetch-dashboard.sh and possibly local/low-battery.sh to use xh instead of ht. Most op the command line options should still be compatible, though there are some changes.
4. Start dashboard with /mnt/us/dashboard/start.sh.
   Note that the device will go into suspend about 10-15 seconds after you start the dashboard.

⚠️ This release contains a breaking change ⚠️
