R3 Firmware 2.6.0

Software
1

Hi, my family and I are using the remote for almost 1 month now. There are still some flaws. Today I saw a notification for firmware 2.6.0

I cannot find any documentation what has been fixed, improved or were new features are activated.

The changelog page hasn’t been update for 1 year: Changelog

For the R3 Firmware I couldn’t find a github repository. Only for the dock.

Does anyone know what changed in 2.6.0?

Beta firmware update changelogs are on Discord.
You should have been able to see it as well on the remote before you actually install it.

Beta Release 2.6.0

This patch update addresses a WiFi initialization issue on Remote 3.

Fixed

  • Remote 3 WiFi controller initialization. Some boards had sporadic initialization issues at power-up or after wakeup due to a vendor bug. This fix uses more conservative settings for stable operation.

Beta Release 2.6.1

This patch update contains another improvement for certain chargers and the Remote 3 display initialization. Known issues:

  • WiFi high-channels (>11) do not work anymore, we are working on a fix.

WoWLAN periodically wakes up the device from standby. A support case with the manufacturer is in progress.Dock 3: automatic detection of 2 IR blasters currently does not work with all docks. Workaround: use the new manual configuration mode introduced with 2.5.0 to configure two IR-blasters.Automatic display brightness and button backlight settings in the UI are not yet working. They are currently disabled in the web-configurator.

  • Remote 3: the ambient light sensor sensitivity will be increased with a firmware update.

Sonos integration: a recent speaker firmware update affects the local device API access. Connection issues might be resolved temporarily by power-cycling the Sonos device(s). We are planning a rewrite of the Sonos integration using a different API.

Fixed

  • Improved charging parameters to accommodate for chargers without cable compensation.
    Toggle IR codes from the IR database result in “invalid request” errors (#495).Remote 3: Another display initialization adjustment to avoid sporadic interlace effects after wakeup.

Changed

  • Web-configurator:
  • Support for uploading multiple image files at the same time. If multiple files are selected, they must be in the required format. The resize editor is only available for single uploads.
    Auto-reboot remote after enabling and confirming beta updates.
