October 2024 release notes

Moddable SDK 5.1 contains improvements made between September 14 and October 11, 2024

Highlights of this release include:

  • Raspberry Pi Pico - support for new RP2350 and version 2.0 of the Pico SDK
  • ECMA-419 Audio Input and Audio Output for upcoming 3rd edition
  • Improved error messages throughout XS for better JavaScript debugging

Moddable issued a press release about Moddable Six to share the news of our latest product with the world. Moddable Six is our most advanced display for Embedded JavaScript with unprecedented performance, quality, and ease-of-use. Read the news!

Raspberry Pi Pico developers need to update their pico-sdk, pico-examples, pico-extras and pico-playground repositories to version 2.0 (tag: sdk-2.0.0). That's easily done by reinstalling those repositories following the directions in our Getting Started with Raspberry Pi Pico document.

Work on the 3rd Edition of ECMA-419, the standard for Embedded JavaScript, is making rapid progress. We are adding Moddable's implementations of new modules to the Moddable SDK as they are ready. We are also providing unit tests and/or example apps. These should be considered experimental until ECMA-419 3rd Edition is officially standardized as changes may still be made. They are provided here for member of the committee and the community to try them out and provide feedback prior to standardization.

The Moddable SDK now supports directly including ESP-IDF native components from the ESP Component Registry. Check out our blog post Using the ESP Component Registry with the Moddable SDK to learn more.

Note: ESP-IDF v5.3.1 has been released. Our initial testing shows that it is compatible with Moddable SDK v5.1. We are not requiring an update to ESP-IDF v5.3.1 at this time, as it does not appear to contain any critical changes and there have been quite a few ESP-IDF updates lately.
