New features:

Travel time (this mode is not publicly available - please contact us for more information) rounding up now
Changed default values of Heartbeat 2 registers

6.0.156¶

New features:

GPIO functions upgraded to the GPIO_MAP - more efficient settings

Fixed:

All new alerts cancel all pending repeating alerts

6.0.145¶

New features:

Reed switch can now be in interrupt mode instead of pooling - instant reaction (turned on with register 0x37 to value 0xFF)
GPIO functions - the possibility to add any sensor to pins on the board (project-based only)
Legionella mode (not publicly documented, please contact us if you're interested in using a legionella prevention device from us - project-based)
Failsafe - a very important function that makes sure the device cannot be in a state where it's not possible to change the settings (e.g. button is disabled with no downlink requesting heartbeats - the firmware automatically detects the button being disabled and turns the heartbeat on etc.)
Alert repetition function of events implemented

Fixed:

Periodic temperature independent event no longer freezes when the aggregation is changed
Reed counter events now sent correctly based on the time trigger

Newly introduced issue:

New alerts do not cancel all pending repeating alerts (indefinite sending)

6.0.119¶

New features:

Better consumption in devices with the power amplifier (RC2/4)

6.0.117¶

New features:

Periodic temperature independent event 0xBA (set with registers 0x7E and 0x7F)
Added hot bitturned on with register (bit 1 of register 0x56) - this moves the temperature range up by 35°C and allows reporting higher temperature than 87.5°C
Added Sigfox RC7 support for Russia (bit 6 of register 0x6B)

Newly introduced issue:

SimplePack 3.0 Plus Basic is missing Stupid mode 2 in its firmware build (this concerns only the basic version)
Periodic temperature independent event freezes when the aggregation is changed

New event: 0x89 Battery low reporting low battery voltage
Independent accelerometer events (bit 0 of register 0x56) send message as Trace me mode instead of Track me now - this means that in addition to 0x20 and 0x21 events (Start and Stop of movement), 0x22 is sent as well (Tracing tag)

Fixed:

Monarch: Register 0x6B has a correct default value now
Monarch: Zone switch timer to change RCZ fixed
Watchdog fixed - bug introduced in 6.0.90
