New RC https://github.com/rusefi/rusefi/releases/tag/release_230604

Just promoted to release.

[AndreyB]

*BREAKING CHANGE* https://github.com/rusefi/rusefi/issues/5353 changes injector firing order in batch mode if "Individually wired Batch Fuel" setting was not selected. "Individually wired Batch Fuel" setting is actually removed altogether, it's now always "Individually wired Batch Fuel".

[AndreyB]

Something is going on with F7 version of the firmware (which usually means Proteus F7 but 4chan F7 is also coming soon)

I've seen three different hanging scenarios. One I am pretty sure was below-average stack allocation on a specific thread - this one was taken care under https://github.com/rusefi/rusefi/issues/5320

https://github.com/rusefi/rusefi/issues/5354 is still an issue

And finally this has caused smoke yesterday https://github.com/rusefi/rusefi/issues/5426

July release candidate https://github.com/rusefi/rusefi/releases/tag/20230726_release

[tmbryhn]

Downloaded latest release candidate. Can't open console because of what appears to be outdated Java version.
Follows link that automatically opens: https://www.java.com/en/download/
Link takes me to "Version 8 Update 381". This does not appear to be "11".

Download, install and restart. Same error.

Any tips or link to correct download?

[tmbryhn]

Never mind... Downloaded this, and it worked:
https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/javase/jdk20-archive-downloads.html
->
https://download.oracle.com/java/20/archive/jdk-20.0.2_windows-x64_bin.exe

[mi-hol]

I would strongly advise to switch to an open-source JAVA distribution due to ORACLE changing their license to be non-free some time ago.
Recommended is a version with long-time support (LTS)

[AndreyB]

Nice catch thank you! Will create a new RC now.

July RC 2nd attempt with better JRE link

https://github.com/rusefi/rusefi/releases/tag/20230726_2_release

[AndreyB]

latest release has a nasty defect https://github.com/rusefi/rusefi/issues/5542

A work-around would be to set Controller->"HPFP Cam Configuration" -> "Number of lobes" to zero

Release candidate https://github.com/rusefi/rusefi/releases/tag/release_240101

[zed65]

I tried to compile the 240101 firmware but got an error:

make.png

What am I doing wrong?

[AndreyB]

What am I doing wrong?

Definitely posting on a wrong forum thread - end users do not compile

Also using wrong compiler probably see https://github.com/rusefi/rusefi/issues/5644

New release candidate https://github.com/rusefi/rusefi/releases/tag/release_20240227

[AndreyB]

New release candidate https://github.com/rusefi/rusefi/releases/tag/release_20240227

Nope, that one did not go well - still defects related to the build scrips modernization.

[AndreyB]

Let's try again - new release candidate https://github.com/rusefi/rusefi/releases/tag/release_20240304

[AndreyB]

New release candidate https://github.com/rusefi/rusefi/releases/tag/release_20240418

https://github.com/rusefi/rusefi/issues/6349 is the most important bugfix of the last couple of years, hopefully that addresses https://github.com/rusefi/rusefi/issues/5728 and https://github.com/rusefi/rusefi/issues/5729

[AndreyB]

Has been a while, new RC https://github.com/rusefi/rusefi/releases/tag/release_20240809

[AndreyB]

release candidate https://github.com/rusefi/rusefi/releases/tag/release_20241113

[AndreyB]

In latest development we've improved error handling
* on the one hand hard faults are now resetting, not hanging with red LED
* on the other hand, we now write error reports to SD card
* next step https://github.com/rusefi/rusefi/issues/7291

Just migrated to latest ChibiOS 21.11 - that's major update, theoretically all kinds of things could go wrong. My vehicle runs like before, what about yours?
