This is an optional bug fix release that contains a few fixes for issues encountered by users. A lot of effort was put into tracking down crashes and other instability issues.

Enhancements:

  • Display end channel for Input/Output of e1.31/DDP/ArtNet configuration
  • Allow re-ordering of entries in the scheduler editor UI. Allows prioritizing schedule entries (first to match plays)

Bug Fixes:

  • Fix CPU utilization % on both MultiSync and About pages
  • Fix arguments not being passed to scripts from events/commands
  • Fix links to scripts and effects from About page
  • Backup/Restore proxy settings
  • Fix network settings restore
  • Fix zero length backups if binary plugin data in config directory
  • Fix problems with WiFi PSK having dollar signs
  • Implement new IO read-ahead for reading fseq files to hopefully better deal with slow media
  • Larger frame cache and IO cache for read aheads to reduce skips due to slow media
  • Reduce CPU usage (particularly on Pi Zero, older Pi's) by only blanking the parts of the sequence data that is actually being output instead of all 8M channels
  • Reduce gpu_memory split on older Pi's
  • Disable the swap file on Pi's. This should not have been enabled, and contends for media transfer time
  • Fix very long strings on BBB pixel capes having pixels stuck on/off
  • Remove an invalid log entry with Pixel overlay models
  • Multisync - ignore earlier sync packets if multiple packets are received at once, prevents some skips if network delay
  • Fix stopped effects leaving data on for various pixels

Upgrade Instructions:

If you have a system running 3.5.x, you can go to the FPP about page (about.php) and click on the "Manual Update" button. It should only take a minute or two to upgrade.

For older versions, it's recommended to grab the 3.5.6 image from the bottom of https://github.com/FalconChristmas/fpp/releases/tag/3.5.6 , install that.
