We wanted to tackle iPad issues here as well as fix the DFU crashes that were not there in the previous release. Hopefully things are better now.
2.7.4
Jan 19, 2024
We've made some work here towards reducing the number of crashes. Making relatively small architectural changes and so on. There are also some UI changes, but minor since we don't want to embark on a full "dot" release just yet.
2.7.3
Jan 10, 2024
It's the boring to say, but it's true - we fixed a lot of issues raised by our users. By you, basically. There's more, and there are crashes and issues we need to look into, but we're working on it. Happy New Year!
2.7.2
Dec 1, 2023
2.7 changed a lot of things, so we're now striving to make smaller releases with fixes as well as improvements overall. As always, we appreciate all of your feedback as you encounter issues.
2.7.1
Nov 28, 2023
The sad part about this fix, is all the people that are not going to see the complete 'What's New' change-up of the big 2.7 update. Regardless, it's worth issuing this update to ensure DFU is available to all of our customers.
2.7
Nov 22, 2023
This is big. There are fixes, of course. And updates, and features, and DFU Improvements. And support for more DFU options (match nRF Connect Device Manager app).

You've read this before, but this is mostly fixes for all the Crash reports we've been seeing. For more information check 'What's New'.

2.4.9
May 7, 2021

# Features
• GATT Server Redesign.
• Initial Support for Keyboard Shortcuts.
