Pixelix v2.1.1

Bugfix release

• JustTextPlugin webpage fixed. #15
• GameOfLifePlugin didn't handle the neighbor cells correct.
• GameOfLifePlugin generates now a new grid during every activation to avoid problem in case the slot duration is lower than the internal timers.

• Documentation cleaned up.

Pixelix v2.1.0

Minor feature release

Features:

• In the AP mode the configuration can be set via captive portal now.
• The text scrolling speed can be configured now via settings.
• If a connection is established in wifi station mode, the slot which is shown can be changed via user button.

Bugfixes:

• After wifi connection was established, the button task freezed. This happened, because of priority inheritance from the loop task. This is fixed now by scheduling task with equal or lower priority than the loop task explicit.
• The system message duration was stored every time in the flash, although it was not useless, because the duration is given explicit in the software.

Pixelix v2.0.3

Bugfix release

• During changing the slot, the next plugin was activated in fade out phase, which influenced the display content. The activation was now moved to fade in phase.
• SunrisePlugin and GruenbeckPlugin executing http requests. The response callbacks were not thread safe. This is fixed now.
• espressif32 library version bumped to v2.0.0

Pixelix v2.0.2

Bugfix Release:

• If the connection establishment of a http request from Gruenbeck plugin fails once, all following attempts will fail. This was fixed.
