FW 0.12.11 Release Notes

Spectoda Firmware v0.12.11 Release Notes

Release Date: November 2, 2025 Version: 0.12.11

🚀 Major Features

• NetworkStorageData sync with App Controller: Adds storage synchronization between devices and app.

• Berry API expansions:

  • spectoda.tx() / spectoda.rx() for low-level transport.

  • ble.enable(...), espnow.enable(...), full ESP-NOW configuration API, and espnow.datarate(...).

  • APDS9960 sensor API.

  • Config support for "plugins" and Controller "scripts".

• Lighting protocols: ART-NET and sACN can now receive from multiple universes.

• Connector compatibility: CONNECTOR_LEGACY_JS_RUNTIME option for legacy integrations.

• allow overriding PCB/Product codes

🔧 Technical Improvements & Refactors

• Introduced fw_platform_code; added networksnapshot_unix_timestamp, controllerstore_fingerprint.

• Renames/cleanups: fw_compilation_timestamp → fw_compilation_unix_time, clock_ms → clockms_t, IDENTIFIER(0) → IDENTIFIER_UNDEFINED.

• Berry internals: standardized names (EVT/PLG), cleaned C/C++ handlers, unified utils helpers (e.g., utils::berry::getBytesBufferAndSize()), DMX Berry improvements.

• Moved synchronization_t to dedicated header; improved error paths in BLE/ESP-NOW members.

• Build/Tooling: fixed WASM and DMX builds; new options to exclude APDS9930 and Pixel Port R/W; release build configuration.

📈 Performance & Stability

• Faster network OTA via higher data rate.

• Longer Ethernet startup window for reliability.

• Turned off Berry debug info and strict module for production performance.

• Increased IO port max size from 1200 → 2048.

• WS2805 signal timing corrected to reduce flicker/glitches.

• FW flooding mechanism hardened.

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Device context: fixed registerDeviceContext event-state initialization.

• Clock writes: allowed higher-frequency FW clock updates.

• Serial: reliable synchronization packet sending; resolved large-payload issues (multiple fixes through Nov 7).

• Persistence: early reboot could skip writing Network Signature/Key—fixed.

• LoadingBar animation crash fixed.

• Protocols: no crash on ArtNet without a valid Berry VM.

• Berry runtime: memory corruption and render stack memory leak fixed; empty mapped bytes creation crash fixed; general bug fixes in C++ and VM glue.

• ESP-NOW: synchronization tweaks and NetworkData sync fixes.

• Error handling: improved handling for FLAG_EVENT_HISTORY_BC_REQUEST; suppressed noisy “BLE max connection reached” log.

🧩 Compatibility & Migration Notes

• Potentially breaking:

  • Default config segment ID changed from ID255 to ID0 (verify scripts/configs relying on defaults).

  • FLAG_EVENT_HISTORY_BC_REQUEST disabled (behavioral change for history broadcast).

• Berry internal renames are largely non-breaking for user scripts, but update custom native plugins if they touch internals.

🧪 Build & Developer Notes

• New build exclusions: ESPNOWRADIO, APDS9930

• WASM build fixes applied; DMX WASM build corrected.
