- ezWS2812: the SPI peripheral is now configurable
- ezWS2812: increased the maximum amount of handled LEDs
- ezWS2812: added interrupt locking to the examples
- ble_blinky example: input button is now configured with a pullup
- ble_blinky example: button state has been inverted
- Added driver library for Si7210 hall sensors
- Added driver library for PDM microphones
- Added sensor array example for the xG27 Dev Kit
- Added sensor array with BLE example for the xG27 Dev Kit
- Added battery example for the ThingPlus Matter
- Added battery with BLE example for the ThingPlus Matter
- Added BLE HID keyboard example
- Added issue and feature request templates
- Renamed getCpuTemp() to getCPUTemp()
- Renamed getMcuUniqueId() to getDeviceUniqueId()
- Renamed getMcuUniqueIdStr() to getDeviceUniqueIdStr()
- Fixed debugging for newer 2.3.x Arduino IDEs
- Switched to the zstd archive format for packaging which improved installation speed massively
- Fixed an issue where GPIO could be used before initialization which resulted in a crash
- Added missing mathematical constants

- Variant selection has been made more clear - each board only has one variant and the radio protocol can be selected in a separate menu
- The BLE and Matter variants no longer require a different bootloader - no need for reflashing when switching between them
- Introduced an option to not include any radio stacks to save Flash/RAM
- SWO and RAIL PTI is now disabled by default (they won’t occupy GPIO by default)
- Fixed inverted initial state in pulseIn()
- Built-in LEDs with both active high and low are handled simultaneously in examples
- Introduced issue and feature request templates
- Pin mapping has been reworked to conform with Arduino standards
