Pebble SDK 2.0 BETA3 - Changelog	2013-12-12

• Pebble SDK 2.0 is currently in BETA and intended for developers only.
• SDK 2.0 will be released later this year as an over-the-air update to all Pebble users.
• Applications written for Pebble 1.x are not compatible with SDK 2.0
• If a 2.0 version of an application exists, the Pebble mobile applications will automatically install it when when a user upgrades her/his Pebble.

What has changed since BETA2

Overview:

• The Android app fixes a large number of JS-related bugs.
• The Android app fixes a bug where all messages sent to android would be automatically acknowledged. Your application should acknowledge app messages.
• Some new user features in the firmware: Notification settings (with Do Not Disturb), better Alarms
• Lots of small UI and stability fixes in Pebble.

Known problems and bugs:

Firmware

• added a Notification menu in the Settings to disable Notifications and configure a DoNotDisturb time frame
• much better Alarm app with a nicer UI, snooze support, disabled alarms support
• fix bugs where incoming calls could cause the vibration to stay on continuously
• fix a rare condition where the accelerometer would crash if an interrupt comes too late or the accelerometer sent 0 samples
• fix accelerometer behaviour when only 1 sample is requested: only send one sample (instead of 2)
• fix a bug where an iOS device could disconnect just 1-2 seconds after connecting
• automatically reconnect when user leaves Airplane Mode
• show (in settings) that vibrations are disabled when Pebble is plugged
• improved the set date/time UI to use the new DateTime UI (as in Alarms)
• adjust the framebuffer offset for modal window transitions
• reduced BLE connection interval
• log more information when an application crashes
• do not crash if an app_message section is re-opened - display warning instead
• fix a bug which caused firmware updates to fail under some conditions (mostly android)
• appsync will only update a dictionary if it has enough memory to do so (instead of finding out half-way that it does not have enough memory)
• always return to the launcher after an app crash (to avoid a crash loop on a watchface)
• *_destroy() will accept NULL pointers without errors
• always go back to the top of the menu when launching the menu from a watchface (to make "blind" navigation easier)
• fix a bug where an actionbar button would still be "pressed"
• show Bluetooth Name on getting started screen
• automatically delete old apps that are not compatible with this firmware version
• accelerate scrolling on the menu
• use modal window icon in the status bar as long as the modal window is displayed
• Export dict_size so external developers don't have to do pointer math :)
• fix a bug where scrolling in a long list of notifications could cause the display to "bounce"
• fix a bug where lots of app logging messages could overflow the system task queue and kill app message
• API documentation completely reviewed and updated
• missed call modal views will timeout after 180s
• force quit app when the back button is held for 2 seconds
• menu_cell_basic_draw() now automatically center the text in the cell. If you do not want a subtitle, pass NULL (otherwise, space will be reserved for the subtitle).
• fixed some bluetooth settings to avoid duplicated messages (could cause screenshot to go over 100%, duplicated log entries, firmware upgrade to fail, etc)
• peek()ing the accelerometer is not allowed anymore when you have also subscribed to receive updates
• fix a bug where the accelerometer would get stuck after a few hours

iOS App

• fix a bug where datalogging could dump messages to another phone on your local network
• fix a bug where datalogging would get into a deadlock
• fix a bug where the developer connection would appear active but would be closed

Android App

• fix a number of cases where a JS app would not be launched
• fix bug where clicking the configure icon would not open the configuration view of an app
• fix a bug which caused every AppMessage sent to Android to be acknowledged by the system
• Select the Google Play Music App as the default music player
• fix support email to use the Pebble bluetooth name instead of the last four digits of the serial
• if there is an error when uploading an app, do not dismiss the update screen right away
• do not dump large logs if stats json is not found
• check for firmware update when foregrounded
• fix bug where a canceled app install would be reported as completed
• fix bug where an install would fail silently because the resources could not be loaded
• display specific error message when a user tries to install a 2.0 app on a 1.x Pebble
• fix a bug where the android app would display error message "Could not update" while looking for updates in the background

PebbleKit iOS

• allow one iOS application to exchange messages with several Pebble apps (with different UUIDs)
• fix a crash trying to parse invalid firmware version
• add CocoaPods support (see pebblekit-ios readme for more info)
• enabled "all warnings" and fixed errors

PebbleKit Android
