What has changed since BETA6

Overview:

  • More random crashes fixed in the firmware
  • Seriously improved datalogging on iOS (and some bugfixes on Android)
  • Fixed the URL scheme to install Pebble applications. It did not work in Beta6.
  • Added support for getAccountToken() in PebbleKit JS (iOS only at the moment)
  • iOS application and PebbleKit iOS are now 64 bits compatible
  • iOS application does not crash on iPhone 4 anymore
  • Some breaking changes in PebbleKit iOS: We cannot use NSNumber categories in 64 bit because their size is unknown. We added a new PBNumber class. This class is returned if you use the NSNumber Pebble category.

Known Problems and limitations

  • Android does not include the Pebble appstore yet
  • PebbleKit iOS apps may see error messages about parsing firmware in their logs. This will be removed soon and does not impact anything in PebbleKit iOS.

  • adjusted the battery charged thresholds so that Pebble Steel turns green when apps show 100%
  • fix a bug where you could get 110% battery
  • fix a bug where datalogging session could be incompletely initialized when pushed
  • fix a bug that could happen when looking for notifications
  • fix a bug where some original Pebbles (ev2_4) would never hit 100% battery
