Other

• Added support for flashing via pyocd
• Moved generic I2C/ADC handling to core module

New features

• Added the new concept of internal program change offset (see https://github.com/shanteacontrols/OpenDeck/discussions/157 for more details)

Fixes

• Fixed broken flash.sh script for flashing AVR boards

Other

• Disabled DMX support on Teensy++ 2.0 by default (lack of RAM)
• Disabled touchscreen support on Arduino Mega2560 by default (lack of RAM)
• Added the ability to analyze the code with Infer
• Logging format is now consistent between glog library and internal firmware logging
• Refactored database access in various modules (implemented admin/user model)

New features

• Added support for multiple shift registers for rows in button matrices (16x8/24x8/32x8 etc. matrices are now possible)
• Added support for MAX7219 LED driver
• Integrated board LEDs now blink during firmware update
• Added support for OpenDeck v3 boards (A and B variants)
• Added DMX support on nRF52 boards
• Added firmware update support on nRF52 boards
• When BLE MIDI is used, the advertised name now contains BLE acronym for clarity (e.g. OpenDeck BLE | nrf52840dk)
• Added support for Arduino Nano 33 BLE

Improvements

• Improved error reporting during custom board builds when multiplexer pins are omitted
• Improved analog readouts from nRF52 boards

Fixes

• Fixed some incorrectly defined pins for Adafruit ItsyBitsy nRF52840 board

Other

• Moved most of the generic board code to core module
• Reworked I2C support - supported I2C components can now use dedicated I2C channels instead of all components being on the same one
• Moved integrated LED flashing on startup to application from bootloader
• Misc refactoring of build scripts and board directory

New features

• Added support for Bluetooth MIDI on nRF52 boards
• Added support for Adafruit ItsyBitsy nRF52840 Express board

Fixes

• Fixed DFU flashing via make
• Fixed broken MIDI thruing (regression from previous release)

Other

• Misc internal cleanups/improvements/reorganisation

New features

• Added initial support for Nordic nRF52840 MCUs (no Bluetooth yet - support will be added in future releases)
• Added the ability to specify global MIDI channel for all components
• Added the ability to specify "omni" MIDI chanel 17
  • For outgoing data, channel 17 will send MIDI messages on all MIDI channels
  • For incoming data, setting the channel to 17 will ignore the channel (eg. for LEDs this will make them listen to all MIDI channels)
• Added "Only note off" and "Only CC 0" message modes for buttons: combined with omni MIDI channel setting this makes it possible to configure the buttons as "kill" switches to mute all channels if supported by the controlling software / gear
• Reworked MIDI thru options (DIN to DIN, DIN to USB, USB to DIN, USB to USB)
• Implemented double-buffering for DMX to avoid tearing
• Added the ability to control DMX channels via SysEx
• Added the ability to control DMX channels via connected components - DMX message mode can now be assigned to buttons, encoders and analog components

Fixes

• Fixed broken indication of current preset

Other

• Switched to tinyusb USB stack for ARM targets
• Switched to GoogleTest framework for all tests for easier mocking
• Simplified adding support for various flashing tools
• Refactoring of build system, database, scripts and many other internal details
• Reworked MIDI library to make it easier to add different transport mechanism and to simplify thruing across different transports
• Added initial logging mechanism
• Added clang-tidy infrastructure for code linting and to improve code styling consistency
• Removed support for analog components on touchscreen

New features

• Added the ability to specify lower and upper ADC percentage offsets (useful for inputs which can't reach minimum or maximum ADC value)

Misc

• Updated to new compiler version
• Misc build changes/improvements

Improvements

• Improved system responsiveness
• Reduced RAM usage

Fixes

• Fix atrocious performance when I2C displays are used with analog components

Misc

• Added macOS CI build

New features

• Added support for STM32F401CC BlackPill variant
• Analog filters are now configurable in compile time for custom boards to reduce the usage of RAM and to improve latency on AVR boards

Improvements

• Various performance improvements
• Switched to 38400 baudrate again for Arduino Mega2560 for communication between main and USB link MCU
• Some STM32 boards now support 10 presets again instead of just 5

Fixes

• Fix broken code compilation when buttons aren't used on custom boards
• Fixed some tests being compiled with wrong constants

Misc

• Reorganized board source hierarchy
