Thank you @JF, and everyone else who was involved!

@PINE64

@JF @PINE64
Yay! Upgraded and I'm really liking the always-on mode.

@JF @PINE64 The list of new contributors is a lovely touch. Hadn't notoced it before if it's not a new thing.

@JF @PINE64 I was hoping that background HR would make it to v 1.15.

@alphasixtyfive @PINE64 this is a pretty big PR to review, so we decided to release 1.15 without it to avoid further delaying the release.
But the core developer team is definitely interested in integrating this feature, maybe for the next version!

@JF @PINE64 Really looking forward to it! Background HR and some sort of home automation control would make it feature complete for me personally.

@JF @PINE64 Thanks to everyone involved! The Pine Time is the best smart watch out there.

@nenos @JF @PINE64 Actually no, it is not. Bangle.JS 2 is the best, as it has always-on display, Pine Time is second! :-). And yes, lot of difference is software, and it would be cool to see Espruino ported to Pine Time, to make application development easier. (And to get qemu support for both, they are really similar). https://www.espruino.com/Bangle.js2
www.espruino.comBangle.js 2 - Espruino

@pavel @nenos @PINE64 iirc, the bangle.js2 is based on the nRF52840, which has 2x the amount of flash and 4x the amount of Ram than the pinetime.
This is huge difference, knowing that one of the main limitations for infinitime is the amount of available memory.

@JF @nenos @PINE64 True, Bangle.js2 has 256KB RAM. There's Bangle.js (1) that has 64KB RAM -- nRF52832 SoC and runs same software stack (but has some limits B.js2 does not have). It does not have full touchscreen and I have not seen it, but it means Espruino should mostly fit into PineTime.

@pavel @nenos @PINE64 @JF it is matter of taste. Similar, some people like gnome shell others loves plasma or xfce. I must agree that Infinitime is developing slowly and have long way ahead. Additionaly, spec are lower. I admit I would choose bangle.js nowadays.

@jmlich @nenos @PINE64 @JF For the record... I'm slowly improving SDL port of Espruino, I'd like to run it on cellphone, too, would like to try to port it to AsteroidOS and it would be cool to run it on PineTime. I may even attempt that if good emulator appears and I can get it to work.

@JF How long does the battery last with always on display?
