Uhh, releases? Are those edible?

It's been a long time since the previous release. And for a good reason again.
A most of the api has been reworked, and the whole project has been rebranded.
Almost everything is now in packages and the package manager api version was incremented.
Container storage is now a thing, a bunch of drivers have been added and a lot more stuff is working.

Additionally a lot more functionality has been added. We now have ftp, telnet, console management, massively improved detection and proper ESP32-C3 and SAMD51 support.

Listing all the changes is impossible at this point.
Everyone is highly adviced to read the manual.

The releases are all built for CircuitPython 9.0.
If you want 8.x, build it yourself.

Also from this release and onwards it should be possible to update instead of reinstalling every time, using packages.

Finally, a new release!

Notable changes:

• No longer including the manual on installation to save space.
• Shell rewrite.
• Rework ls.
• xarg for argument parsing.
• hostname.

Major Ljinux update.

This is a bugfix & optimization release.

The reboot command wasn't working.

Lots of changes since last release!

New commands:

• pexec
• fpexec

With these you can run python code from within based & you can include them in based scripts!

Many commands have been reworked & been made external.

Removed dependency from config.json.

Some initial work towards PEP 8.

Notice: If you plan on updating Ljinux make sure you also copy over all the new files from /LjinuxRoot/bin

And who knows, maybe in the next update we will see some color!

The roundup update!

• pinout
• No longer dependant on (almost) any libraries

Updated: reboot, webserver
Reboot now accepts modes (bootloader, uf2, safemode)
Webserver now when launched runs on the backround by default, can be killed by "webserver -k".
And can also be launched even if default www files are missing.

Added support for cmdline.txt file
Only accepts fixrtc for now

additionally I uploaded the default www files for the webserver
I tried building a custom circuitpython version for ljinux but the ram usage didn't improve much (3kb)
We are using too many libraries, so not much can be removed.

Fixes to based variable handling..
Tiny edits I can't keep track of..
Greatly improved makefile & now providing mpy-cross binaries for all important architectures.
Next release I plan on introducing custom uf2 circuitpython builds to improve upon memory usage.

Added new boot code to not require hardware bridging of pins for development mode.
Now you can just run "devmode" from the based shell.
there are no other real changes

Fix crash when eth breakout board is missing and made some improvements.

So many optimisations and changes..
I lost track..
Pipes are a thing now..

The internet release! Now uses a w5500 ethernet module!!
It has an integraded web server in which you can serve a folder with!
network time is also being used and written to the rtc.

Many improvements and fixes to history, logging

Circuitpython 7.1.0 compability hopefully + Picofetch now displays more accurate data.

This contains a frigg ton of changes!
Based shell now has it's own input system, preliminary history and music!
Additionally made many improvements and additions to the autorun system.
Also:

• "security"
• Circles and trianles can be filled
• lines are now op
• music actions
• repeatable init scripts
• and much more

Added lot's of new stuffs like variables! still no display stuff tho..
-W-
