wasp-os v0.4
[v0.4.1 - Built from idential sources to v0.4 but binaries have been regenerated in order to fix problems with corrupt build of build-pinetime/reloader-factory.zip. If upgrading from an older version of wasp-os you may need to install build-pinetime/reloader.zip before switching back to the factory image]
The wasp-os project is proud to announce the release of wasp-os v0.4. Wasp-os is a firmware for smart watches that are based on the nRF52 family of microcontrollers, and especially for hacker friendly watches such as the Pine64 PineTime. Wasp-os features full heart rate monitoring and step counting support together with multiple clock faces, a stopwatch, an alarm clock, a countdown timer, a caclulator and lots of other games and utilities. All of this, and still with access to the MicroPython REPL for interactive tweaking, development and testing.
During the v0.4 development cycle our focus was on improving the watch/phone integration whilst also taking steps to improve the general fit and finish. This release introduces a clean-and-simple analog watch face, new widgets such as button, checkbox and spinner which help makes the UI more consistent, a theming engine and new a configuration tool that provides access to most of the new goodies without having to write a line of Python code (although Python is still fully available to those that want to make very deep customizations).
In this development cycle we have worked with the Gadgetbridge project to add wasp-os support to the latest versions of Gadgetbridge. For more information on how to obtain Gadgetbridge (hint: don't use the Play store) take a look at the appropriate wiki page.

Additionally this releaes includes extensive support for installation using over-the-air updates, including support for installing wasp-os from the new factory firmware for Pine64 PineTime devices.

wasp-os v0.2 (a.k.a. M2)
For wasp-os v0.2 (M2 in the roadmap) we have focused on building the best developer experience possible.
That means there is a file system that allows developers to transfer python source code to the device and arrange for it to be executed automatically. This allows much faster development cycles. There are also many new applications together with an application launcher to hold things together.
This is supplemented with comprehensive documentation available at: https://wasp-os.readthedocs.io and which includes a comprehensive Application Writers Guide together with install instructions, a reference manual and much more.
