This is CircuitPython 5.1.0, the latest minor revision of CircuitPython and the first 5.1.x stable release. It is identical to 5.1.0-rc.0.
Download from circuitpython.orgDownloads are available from circuitpython.org! The site makes it easy to select the correct file and language for your board. The downloads page is here. Downloads are no longer available from the GitHub release pages because of the large number of files for each release.
InstallationTo install follow the instructions in our new Welcome to CircuitPython! guide. To install the latest libraries, see this page in that guide.
Try the latest version of the Mu editor for creating and editing your CircuitPython programs and for easy access to the CircuitPython serial connection (the REPL).
New features and improvements since 5.0.0bleio
module has been renamed to _bleio
to indicate that it is meant to be used only for writing BLE libraries, and that its API may change between CircuitPython minor versions. There are many incompatible changes in _bleio
since 4.0.0. Please use the latest adafruit_ble
library for end-user BLE programming.displayio
refresh API has been revamped to be simpler. wait_for_frame
and refresh_soon
have been removed. In both 4.x and 5.x, auto refresh will automatically refresh the display so they can be removed. The new auto_refresh
property and refresh()
function can be used to control when the screen refreshes and at a specific rate.audioio.Mixer
to audiomixer.Mixer
, which is only available on M4 microcontrollers. Moved audioio.RawSample
, and audioio.WaveFile
to the new module audiocore
. However, for backwards compatibility, they are still available in audioio
. They will be removed from audioio
in 6.0.0. Thanks @jepler.I2C.writeto_then_readfrom()
. Deprecate stop=
arg which will be removed in 6.x. Use I2C.writeto_then_readfrom()
instead.re

operations that read from an SD card (e.g., OnDiskBitmap
) will interfere with other SD card operations and can cause lockup. To work around this problem, do not read or write files on the SD while the display is updating, and vice versa.ulab
can give erroneous results when sorting 2D arraysulab
can give erroneous results with expressions like a[a<1]
