No images? Click here Official project updatesSince this update brings Nerves Heart 2.0 further into use I will re-post the 2.0 changes from the previous edition here before we resume the changelog. The heart is, if you didn't know, the friendly helper that keeps your device alive if Erlang actually fails. It is the supervisor of all supervisors. It is the Nerves replacement for the Erlang heart module. This is a major update to Nerves Heart.
On with new notes: Support Nerves Heart v2.0.0 attributes and features. Nerves Heart v2.0.0 is a major update that addresses rare cases where devices would fail to reboot or detect an issue. It also adds helpful statistics. See the docs for details. Nerves Heart v1.x versions are still supported.
This release updates Nerves Heart to 2.0.1. This is technically a backwards incompatible version, but only if you use Nerves Heart statistics reports in your code. Nerves Heart 2.0 has several improvements to address rare issues and provide better information. The nerves_runtime library has updates to use these new features.
