Pebble SDK 2.1.1 - Changelog

Release Date: May 8 2014

What has changed since 2.1

This release fixes a bug which caused the pebble tool to throw an exception when a Pebble app crashed. This is the only fix and we are not releasing a firmware 2.1.1, only the SDK is updated.

What has changed since SDK 2.0.2

Overview:

  • Pebble dynamic memory allocation has been improved and will now detect when you try to free() memory twice.
    • With Pebble 2.1 your application will be killed and a message is shown in the console so you can detect and fix this problem, instead of potentially causing a memory corruption issue.
  • IMPORTANT: You will need to update your Pebble to run apps built with the 2.1 SDK. Applications compiled with the SDK 2.1 will not appear in the menu and will not run on Pebble firmware 2.0.
