Release Notes for ZentriOS-W-3.1

ZentriOS-W-3.1 provides fixes and improvements to version 3.0.

Security features include new user encryption options, and automatic encryption of certificates and configuration files. See new system.security_key encryption options for file_create, file_open, http_download, and http_upload commands, User Encrypted file flag and new automatic encryption for the save command. See also File System, Encrypting Files for use by ZentriOS.

You can also set a TLS certificate when using tcp.client.auto_start. See tcp.client.tls_enabled.

New features for stream writes and reads allows buffer sizes to be checked before network stream read/write operations are attempted. See the bus.command.write_check_enabled variable, the stream_write and stream_poll commands, and Serial Interface, Response Format, Bounds error.

A new OOB GPIO event allows checking for HTTP data ready, using a new option with the http_get and http_post commands. See system.oob.gpio.

A GPIO can be configured as an auxiliary factory reset GPIO. See system.factory_reset.aux_gpio and system.factory_reset.aux_level variables.

The log bus can be used as an auxiliary command console. See system.cmd.aux_bus.

You can determine Soft AP RSSI with softap_get_rssi and softap.rssi_average.

Other improvements allow:
