Changes in v1.7 include:

  • Channel Output drivers
    • New Generic Serial Channel Output.
    • GPIO Channel Output now has a 'invert' option to invert the output.
    • Changed order of fields on E1.31/sACN Channel Output screen to make it
      clearer that the start channel is the FPP absolute start channel.
    • Add Channel Output driver for the Hill320 controller. This must be
      enabled by hand currently, there is no UI yet. Requires MCP23017 I2C chip.
  • General
    • Updated note on FPP File Manager to indicate which sequencers natively
      support creating .fseq files.
    • Added ability to run User Scripts directly from the FPP File Manager to
      without having to create a wrapper Event.
    • Text Editor added to UI to allow editting User Scripts without having to
      download them to a local machine, edit, and then re-upload to FPP.
    • FPP MultiSync Remotes will now search for a HOSTNAME-specific
      background_HOSTNAME.eseq file prior to falling back to looking for
      background.eseq when starting up.
    • The status page should no longer hit the backend every second for a status update
      if the status page is not on the visible tab of the browser.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Raspberry Pi direct-attached WS281x now allows the second string to be
      0 pixels rather than forcing at least one pixel on the second output.
    • Fixed bug in Channel Tester code to correctly honor start channel.
    • Bugfix in code that detects when a USB audio device has been removed
      and allows switching off the old device.
    • PiFace RTC should now be working again.
    • The "changes available" text should not be shown on the About page if
      the system can not access the internet to check for changes.
    • Run upgrade scripts with proper permissions during manual upgrades.
    • Fix setting initial volume level at boot.
    • Fixed max channel count in Pixel Overlay Perl script code.
  • Experimental Code/Features
    • New X11Matrix Channel Output for development testing.

NOTE: This is not an automatic upgrade, the only way to pull in the v1.7
changes is to use the Upgrade button in the UI. The 'Manual Update'
button on the About page will not upgrade to the v1.7 code, it can
only be used to pull in v1.6 updates.
