Pebble SDK 3.6-dp5 - Changelog

Release Date: October 2 2015

This changelog covers only changes since 3.6-dp2. Developer previews 3 and 4 were never shipped.

Changes to Firmware

• Made the status bar on Chalk (Pebble Time Round) four pixels taller (from 20 to 24 pixels).
• Resolved an issue causing AppMessages to sometimes be dropped when sending both ways.
• Improved backlight behaviour when dictating text.
• Fixed a calculation error in grect_centered_from_polar.
• Resolved multiple issues that occured when reusing a DictationSession.

Changes to SDK

• Added the GTextAttributes structure, with methods for defining text flow and paging on a circular display.
• Added support for GTextAttributes to graphics_draw_text. That NULL parameter that you've been tacking on the end for two and a half years now actually does something.
• Added methods to TextLayer for flowing and paging text on a circular display.
• Added paging support to ScrollLayer.
• Improved the return codes from the dictation API.

Changes to Pebble Tool

• Added the pebble transcribe command, enabling testing dictation in the emulator.
• Added the pebble data-logging command, to download stored datalogging from the watch to the computer.

Changes to Emulator/Phonesim

• Added a translucent ring around the inside of the emulator to remind you of masked pixels.
• Resolved an issue causing appmessage events to fire repeatedly.
• Resolved an issue causing app installs to frequently fail on Linux.
• Resolved an issue causing emulated Bluetooth to be broadly unreliable.
