# Changelog

## \[1.0.0b8.1] - 2022-09-09

This release fixes a regression introduced in 1.0.0b8.

### AstroPlant Software

#### Peripherals

Upgrade from version 1.0.0b7 to 1.0.0b8. Its changelog is:

```
## [1.0.0b8] - 2022-09-09

### Fix

- DHT22: wait for measurement (regression introduced in 1.0.0b7)
```

## \[1.0.0b8] - 2022-09-09

This release focuses on increasing the stability of the kit. Errors when communicating with peripherals are handled better.

### System

* Upgrade operating system to Raspberry Pi OS Bullseye
* Move to `libcamera`-based camera stack
* Fix hotspot image to include a default country code when setting up WiFi. This currently defaults to `NL`, which should be fine in most of Europe, but radio frequency regulations in your country may require you to manually set the correct country code in `/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf`
