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.
