WLED Version 16.0.1 Announcement
Read the full copy at https://github.com/wled/WLED/releases/tag/v16.0.1
I'm pleased to announce that since the release of 16.0.0, approximately 50% of WLED installs have downloaded the new release, with only a tiny number of issues reported relative to the install base. Also for those of you that help by sending the install/upgrade report, we have seen only a handful of people downgrade back to 0.15.
There were few key reasons for why this was released as 16.0.0 and not 0.16.0 -
One example is that it is actually a major software change as the entire esp32 platform we run on top of is a major new version, the first time since esp32 support was added.
Another is that it better reflects the fact that WLED is almost 10 years old and has over 2 million downloads, so it’s definitely not a pre-release version 0!
Therefore I think it's fair to say we recommend ALL users upgrade to this 16.0.1 maintenance release!
