0.6.0

We're happy to announce a new Pigg release with a lot of improvements.

Special thanks go to:

• @Dirbaio and others in the Embassy team for their support getting it all working on Pi Pico and Pi Pico W
• @ivmarkov for his edge-mdns crate that allowed us to provide mDNS network discoverability to Pi Pico versions
• @kevinmehall for the great nusb crate for host USB interaction

• Don't offer connect option if already connected to device by @andrewdavidmackenzie in #724
• Remove unused dependencies by @andrewdavidmackenzie in #736
• Adjust widget heights to fit inside pin row by @andrewdavidmackenzie in #748
• fix_timestamps by @andrewdavidmackenzie in #751

Docs

• Add screenshots on Windows by @andrewdavidmackenzie in #670
• Prerequisites by @andrewdavidmackenzie in #721
• Create FUNDING.json by @andrewdavidmackenzie in #722
• Add a drips badge by @andrewdavidmackenzie in #723
• Initial pass at hardware table by @andrewdavidmackenzie in #687
• Document udev rules by @andrewdavidmackenzie in #796

Enhancements

• Make the menus entries consistent by @andrewdavidmackenzie in #742

New Functionality

• Added Support for Pi Pico (not W) via USB connection
  • Build and attach both uf2 to release by @andrewdavidmackenzie in #798
• USB Connections with full functionality
  • Detect USB error and show help by @andrewdavidmackenzie in #804
  • Add a command line argument to allow you to specify a device serial number to connect to via USB at startup
• Discovery
  • Devices discovered are shown in a separate "devices" menu, with a number showing how many have been discovered
  • Discovery of devices connected by USB (multiple if multiple connected)
  • mDNS discovery of piglets (Raspberry Pi) devices with details for then TCP or Iroh connection
  • mDNS discovery of porky (Pi Pico and Pi Pico W) devices for then TCP connection
  • Merge devices in menu by serial number, but allow multiple connection method… by @andrewdavidmackenzie in #740
  • Add local device GPIO hardware to discovery menu by @andrewdavidmackenzie in #759
  • Allow to connect to a device directly from the discovery device menu
• Config management
  • Persistence of the current config by devices (piglet to disk, porky to flash memory)
  • Restoration of config to GPIO hardware on device restart, allowing device to continue as it left off
  • Device supplies current config in operation to the GUI on connection, so GUI reflects reality of hardware
  • Better messages on connect and disconnect
• Make it possible to change connection type or device connected to, without having to disconnect first
• Make it possible to cancel a connection attempt to a device
• Keep all dependencies versions up to date, and remove patched versions of embassy crates for porky

Pending
* Attach udev rules file as asset to release by @andrewdavidmackenzie in #800
