WLED version 0.8.6
Pre-release
Time for a small spooky update!
Because a whole lot has changed with the connection logic, I'm marking this one as a pre-release for now.
Also, please note that my recommendation for LwIP has changed, for this version please use v2 Higher Bandwidth if you need HomeAssistant autodiscovery! In case of bootloop, try the lwip1 binary or build with 1.4 High bandwidth! Sorry for the inconvenience!
- WiFi will now auto-reconnect if connection lost
- Added the TwinkleCat and Halloween Eyes effects
- Improved a lot of effects (running, rainbow, fade...)
- Fixed choppy transitions
- Increased max. LEDs to 1500 (500 in DMA pin 3 mode)
-> I still recommend staying below 900 LEDs (300 for DMA) for optimal performance
Note regarding ESP01:
ESP01 with 512k flash no longer supports Alexa, Blynk or Hue sync interfaces. If you use them, please do not update.
ESP01 with 1MB flash either supports OTA updates OR the above interfaces, just choose the respective binary.
From the next version onward, it will very likely be impossible for me to maintain 512k ESP01 support.
ESP01 1M will stay supported, although OTA updates will not be possible.
To get the most out of WLED, I highly recommend you to upgrade to a board with 4MB flash.
Sorry for the inconvenience!
