Release notes

This is a "patch" release containing bug fixes for some new functionality added to 2.7.0. It contains all of the fixes already present in version 2.7.1 and 2.7.2

This version fixes some further issues discovered in the advanced text cursor movement behaviour system. These issues would only become apparent if using reversed vertical cursor movement, or if the cursor's x and y axes had been flipped.

Upgrading from a Console8 2.x version, or Quark 1.4 RC3

If you are already using a Console8 version 2 release of the VDP (including Alpha releases), or Quark 1.4 RC3 or later, then you are strongly recommended to use the agon-flash utility, the latest release of which (v1.6 at the time of writing) can be downloaded here.

Simply download the firmware.bin release file below, place it on your Agon's SD card, and follow the instructions.

Upgrading from Quark 1.03 or 1.04 (before 1.4 RC3)

Upgrading can be done by building from source using PlatformIO.

Alternatively instead of building one can use esptool from the command line of a Windows, Linux, or MacOS machine, or the ESP Flash tool on Windows using the bootloader.bin, partitions.bin and firmware.bin files attached to this release. Some advice on how to do that can be found here.

This release was built using PlatformIO.
