Releases: EdgeTX/edgetx
EdgeTX "Providence" v2.9.3
We are pleased to offer EdgeTX "Providence" v2.9.3, which fixes several small but possibly quite annoying issues including inputs and mixer lists not being displayed properly, mix delays not working when switches were in the mix, Linux Companion not being able to check for updates, and a few other bits and pieces.
Warning
A bug in the behaviour of the 'delay' mixer option has been fixed whereby it would previously not function at all if the mix line was disabled for some flight modes/if there was mix line with a switch. Please check your model to make sure it behaves correctly if you use the delay option or had configured it in the past and it didn't seem to be working!

EdgeTX "Providence" v2.9.0
We are pleased to offer EdgeTX "Providence" v2.9.0. It is an important milestone for us as it marks the completion of the color screen UI changes started with 2.8.
Migration Information
Warning
Support is removed for direct "on radio" migration from versions before v2.6!
This version of EdgeTX removes the ability to upgrade on-radio directly from OpenTX 2.3.15 or EdgeTX versions prior to 2.6 (which used the BIN format for storage of model and radio settings). It will however still be possible to migrate settings from older versions of OpenTX and EdgeTX via EdgeTX Companion. In some instances, particularly with some older OpenTX configurations, this is the more reliable mechanism for upgrading.
Highlights of this release include:
- LVGL re-write for the color screen interface is now complete. In doing so, there have been numerous improvements to the curves, special functions, logical switches and telemetry screens. Many thanks to @philmoz for doing a lot of the heavy lifting here.
- Various tabs can be turned on or off globally or on a per-model basis on both colorlcd and B&W radios. Have a helicopter that needs the heli tab, but don't want it showing on all your models? Or don't want to see it at all? The new "Enabled Features" button in the radio setup and model setup screens has got you covered! It looked like this during development.
- Numerous improvements to USB joystick support (allowing for greater control of how your radio controls are presented to the computer), as well as the ability to use your radio in conjunction to the radio simulator that is part of EdgeTX Companion.
- Support added for the Flysky FRM303 AFHDS3 RF module for some radios (NV14/EL18 native, TX16S with a mod, others to be documented). More information about the FRM303 here.
- Support added for the Multiplex MLink JR type module. See #3352 for more information.
- Numerous DSM telemetry fixes thanks to @frankiearzu via #3615, #3366, #3126 and #3690
- B&W screen radios: The time is now shown on the main screen between the horizontal trim sliders.
- B&W screen radios: Some of the longer and less commonly used sections in the model settings are now collapsed by default - i.e. timers, throttle settings, pre-flight checks, greatly reducing the amount of scrolling necessary.
- Support for Hebrew was added to radio firmware for color LCD radios and a voice pack is also available.
- If you have noise or buzzing when using high RF power outputs and no audio is playing, there is now a mute option for most radios - see #3703, #3710
- For those using the FrSky R9M 2019 in ACCESS mode in conjunction with the hardware mod, a separate firmware is no longer required. Simply choose the "External Module" option in Radio Settings -> Hardware against the relevant Serial / AUX port. #2562
More information with regards to changes, which is broken down into by screen type (Color LCD and B&W), is available in the user manual here.
Full Changelog: v2.8.5...v2.9.0
UI/UX behavioral changes and/or new capabilities:
- Prior to 2.9, when you connected the radio to the computer, two drives would be shown - a firmware drive, and the SD card. As of 2.9, only the SD card drive is shown, since updating the firmware via the firmware drive is extremely unreliable on Windows systems, and only leads to confusion.
- B&W screen radios with haptic vibration motors gave a momentary buzz when the power-on delay has completed. Color LCD radios now also do the same.
- Another layout was added for color radios - 4+2B right side 3QRT+1QRT by @daniel-snowsurf in #3315
- colorlcd: MDL and SYS buttons now have long press actions... a long press (more than one second) now takes you into the Manage Models aka. "Model Select" or Radio Settings => Radio Setup. A short press takes you to the Model Settings => Model Setup or Radio Settings => Tools.
- Prior to 2.9, certain radios would mute the audio when it was not in use. This would however add approx 250ms lag which impacts on functionality such as variometer tones, so it is now a configurable option, and generally off by default. If you experience noise - i.e. due to high power RF modules, noisy backlight circuitry, etc. - you may wish to re-enable the audio muting behaviour. c.f. #3703
Known Limitations and Issues
- Frsky X10 with external MPM appears to have an issue whereby after a random period of time communication with the module stops responding (and thus the control link is lost) and appears to be limited to Spektrum DSMX (see #4411)
- Telemetry issue with FlySky FS-IA6B receivers: #3543
- External modules driven by PPM or S.BUS: incoming S.PORT telemetry is not processed anymore, as was the case with previous releases (see #3877).
- Wireless Model Trainer and CRSF/ELRS - if using the Multi Protocol Module (MPM) as a wireless trainer in conjunction with CRSF/ELRS, do not go above 250 Hz, otherwise the MPM wireless trainer will be dropped. 250 Hz or below is stable.
- To our knowledge, no Jumper T-Lite / T-Lite V2 with F4 MCU (running in F4 mode) have been released, so do not use the T-Lite (F4) option in Buddy. This option will be removed in the next release/patch. If you do flash it by mistake, your radio will not boot, but you should be able to still flash it with the correct T-Lite firmware via DFU/Buddy.

EdgeTX "Providence" v2.9.0-RC2
We are pleased to offer EdgeTX "Providence" v2.9.0-RC2. As this is a release candidate, there may still be some minor issues that still need work before release. We need your help in testing these builds to ensure there are no major bugs or faults that will cause problems during flight. Please ensure you back up your model and radio settings before updating, fully bench-test your models after updating, and report any issues you encounter.

- B&W screen radios with haptic vibration motors gave a momentary buzz when the power-on delay has completed. Color lcd radios now also do the same.
- On B&W screen radios, several longer categories are now collapable, and are collapsed by default. For instance, timers now only occupy one line each.
- It is now possible to disable or enable several model setup tabs, as well as some radio setup tabs, either globally (in radio setup), or on a per-model basis (in model setup), through the use of the "Enabled Features" option. i.e. Have a heli, but don't want the heli tab for every model? Disable it globally, and then enable it just for the model you want it for. Don't use GVs or Trainer? Just turn those tabs off!
- Another layout was added for color radios - 4+2B right side 3QRT+1QRT by @daniel-snowsurf in #3315
Known Limitations and Issues
- EL18: No Companion support yet
- Wireless Model Trainer and CRSF/ELRS - if using the Multi Protocol Module (MPM) as a wireless trainer in conjunction with CRSF/ELRS, do not go above 250 Hz, otherwise the MPM wireless trainer will be dropped. 250 Hz or below is stable.
- Lua setSerialBaudrate is currently non-functional

EdgeTX "Flying Dutchman" v2.8.5
We are pleased to offer EdgeTX "Flying Dutchman" v2.8.5, the fifth maintenance release for 2.8. As with any software/firmware update, please back up your model and radio settings and fully bench-test your models after updating.
This release resolves two issues identified as 2.9.0 was going into RC which also affects earlier versions of ETX, as well as a few minor quality-of-life fixes. If you use a radio that could come with different internal RF types (i.e. MPM / ELRS), it is recommended that you upgrade ASAP in order to reduce the chance of EMs, and improve the chances of recovery if an EM does occur.
What's Changed
- fix: On radios with configurable internal modules, Emergency Mode did not know the RF module type, resulting in an inability to re-establish the RF link if Emergency Mode was triggered #3603
- fix: Filling up the radio SD card (i.e. logging, screenshots) could result in radio going into Emergency Mode. Logging and screenshots are now disabled when less than 50MB free space remaining. #3739
- fix(colorlcd): Pressing TELE while setting up widgets would load the screen settings tab on top of itself, which could eventually trigger Emergency Mode #3845
- fix(mpm): External MPM would not always do protocol discovery, resulting in missing protocols #3763
- fix: Some AFHDS2A/AFHDS3 GPS/ALT telemetry handling issues which were introduced in earlier 2.8.x versions #3582
- fix(cpn): Include openssl files with Windows and Linux packages, fixing "Unable to download Meta Data / TLS initialization failed" errors preventing download of updates
- feat(cpn): Companion now warns you that you may break things if you use an older version of Companion with a newer firmware version
Please refer to the following to see the complete list of changes.
