v2.0.0-alpha-25w36 | Approaching Beta

Pre-Release Notes

We are getting close here people! We once again had some significant changes to the structure of the repository this week with the implementation of VS Code Workspaces. Also coming in this week is the long awaited SD Card logging module and a binary encoding module that makes our beacon messages 66% more efficient!

Breaking Changes

• If you are coming from an existing repository on a previous release you must use make clean followed by make to reset your dev environment to match the new repo structure. Failure to do so will cause chaos and confusion!

What's Changed

• Update SonarQube to 5.3.1 by @hrfarmer in #303
• Use typeshed stubs for more complete static analysis of CircuitPython code by @nateinaction in #304
• Use Workspaces to resolve both CPython and CircuitPython types where necessary by @nateinaction in #309
• Add option to log to file mount SD Card by @asiemsen in #299
• Bit Packing by @yudataguy in #302

v2.0.0-alpha-25w34

Pre-Release Notes

Sensor readings ahoy! This week we had a major overhaul to the codebase which adds a middleware layer to reading out from sensors that ensures they are all timestamped and wraps up a bit of logic to make calls to the sensors safer in case of a sensor failure.

What's Changed
