# Next
+# 2023-12-03
+
+This release is somewhat higher risk than usual, because so many large things
+changed deep in the code. I did major restructuring and refactoring across the
+entire project. It should work fine, but be on the lookout for any weird
+problems.
+
+General:
+
+- Moved from Bzr + Launchpad to **Git + GitHub**, by popular request.
+- **Completely reorganized the project** files. Really, a *massive* amount of
+ restructuring. The flashlight end-user interface is still the same, but
+ expect to have to learn the code layout from scratch. Read the [README.md]
+ for info about getting started with the new project layout.
+- Added support for AVR DD MCUs like **avr32dd20**. This is the recommended
+ MCU to use in new flashlights.
+- Added ability to use turbo in momentary mode.
+- Upgraded **battery voltage resolution** from 0.1V steps to **0.025V** steps.
+ Battery check has an extra digit which can be 0, 2, 5, or 7 (for example, for
+ 3.70V, 3.725V, .3.75V, and 3.775V).
+- Made Battery Check more consistent, so it's less likely to give different
+ values on the 1st and 2nd readout.
+- Re-calibrated timing on each MCU type, so a 1-second beacon flasher should be
+ closer to 1 actual second now... mostly. Timing still varies significantly
+ from one light to another.
+- Fixed default bike flasher brightness on some builds. It was sometimes way
+ too high.
+- Fixed RGB aux turning on during momentary mode sometimes.
+- Converted documentation to markdown format, and rewrote a lot of it.
+- Fixed some build issues with specific compile-time options.
+- Changed the format of **version numbers**. It now uses the most recent
+ release tag instead of the build date, and **may have additional numbers at
+ the end** to indicate distance from the last official release, and whether
+ the repo was clean or dirty. Today's release is `MODEL-2023-12-03`. A
+ derivative built 52 commits later in a dirty repo would look like
+ `MODEL-2023-12-03-52-1`.
+
+New lights:
+
+- Added &thefreeman-avr32dd20-devkit. It's only used for development purposes,
+ but otherwise it's pretty neat. It'll be the basis for many new lights in
+ the future. (model 1632dd20)
+
+Hardware-specific changes:
+
+- Improved idle efficiency on attiny1616, which was spending entirely too much
+ time doing math it didn't actually need.
+- &hank-\*-boost: Fixed flicker while holding button at moon level. Reduced
+ ripple on low modes. (0216, 0253, 0273)
+- &lumintop-blf-gt: Added smooth steps. Removed a couple other things to make
+ room. (0321)
+- &lumintop-fw3x: Multiple fixes and upgrades... (0314, 0315)
+ - Fixed thermal regulation. Also fixed the external temperature sensor.
+ - Made moon much lower, and made ramp much smoother, by upgrading to DSM.
+ - Fixed the aux RGB pinouts because Lumintop got the wiring backward.
+ - Added a second build target for people who fixed the wires manually.
+ - Added red/blue police color strobe.
+ - Made low modes more efficient with underclocking. Moon should run at least
+ 4X as long as it did before.
+ - Fixed party strobe being blurry.
+ - Added documentation for the FW3X's multiple, uh, quirks.
+- &sofirn-lt1s-pro: Disabled manual memory, memory timer, and extended simple
+ UI by default. Simple mode is simpler, and the factory settings should be
+ more consistent with other lights now. (0623)
