    • Power-on indicator — when the display doesn't stay lit (any backlight mode
      where the screen goes dark, including None), the green LED flashes for
      100 ms every 3 s so it's obvious the radio is still switched on. The flash
      pauses whenever the LEDs are already in use: while receiving, while
      transmitting, and while muted (which flashes the red LED instead).

    • Battery "Bars" display — a third battery status option in the top status
      bar alongside % and V: a battery-shaped icon holding up to four
      segments
      , each representing 25 % of charge, with the fill blinking when
      the battery is low. Cycle the mode with ◀/▶ at Menu → Options → Display
      Options → Battery
      . The "Bars" menu label is localised (German: Balken).

    • CRT-style shut-off animation — when powering off, the current screen
      collapses towards the middle (squeezed to a line, then a dot) like an old CRT
      switching off, replacing the "Power Off" message. (Colour displays only.)

    • Fix: the muted "M" indicator in the status bar overlapped the GPS text
      when GPS was enabled. The header icon is removed; the muted state is shown by
      the flashing red LED alone.

    • SMS recipient from contacts — when composing a message, press GREEN in
      the recipient field to pick the destination from your private-call DMR
      contacts (or type a DMR ID manually and press DOWN to move to the text).
    • Contacts list shows everything — Menu → Contacts now lists all contact
      types together under the title "Contacts" instead of defaulting to the group
      filter; HASH still cycles the per-type filters (all / groups / private /
      all-call).

    • Pride theme — the status/header bar and the menu title bar are now painted
      in the top rainbow-stripe colour so they blend into the background instead of
      showing as white boxes.

    0.8.0

    • Three new theme presets (Display Options → "Theme"): Red (black-on-red
      day / red-on-black night); Neon 80s, an 80s-synthwave palette that maps
      several neon colours (cyan, magenta, violet, green, yellow) across the
      individual UI elements over a dark background; and Pride, which paints the
      background as a rainbow pride flag with black text and white menu/header boxes
      kept readable over the stripes.
    • Build: each build now prints a per-region memory-usage summary
      (FLASH / RAM / CCMRAM used, size and free) so the remaining headroom is
      visible after every build.

    • Fix: the radio crashed when navigating the Messages menu with voice
      prompts enabled. Menu strings added after the voice-prompt pack was built map
      to a table-of-contents slot that doesn't exist; the player read past the end
      of the table. Such strings now play silence instead (also hardens the
      pre-existing strings sitting at the end of the table).

    • DMR text messages (SMS) — full ETSI/Motorola-TMS-compatible messaging:
      compose on the keypad (multi-tap, up to 160 characters), inbox and sent box
      (8 messages each, persisted to flash across power cycles), 10 editable
      quick-text templates, an incoming-message popup with chime and one-key
      reply, and delivery confirmation (waits for the ETSI response PDU / ACK
      with a resend prompt on timeout). Transmits in the Motorola TMS format
      (UDP port 4007) understood by BrandMeister, hotspots and most OEM radios;
      receives both TMS and the Anytone/"DMR standard" format (port 5016) and
      answers delivery-report requests from other radios. Reachable from the
      main menu ("Messages") or a long-press on GREEN in channel/VFO mode.
      Options: "Wait for ACK" and "My ID only" (accept only messages addressed
      to your own DMR ID). Voice PTT is locked out while a message transmits,
      and hotspot mode is unaffected.
    • Removed the main-menu icons — the top-level menu entries are plain text again.

    0.6.0

    • Theme presets — selectable on the radio in Display Options → "Theme":
      Custom (CPS-editable, default), BASIC 80s (Commodore 64 blue/light-blue),
      Terminal (green-on-black night / black-on-green day), and Vertexic
      (orange, black-on-orange day / orange-on-black night). The choice is stored
      in the codeplug custom-data area (migration-safe; defaults to Custom), and CPS
      theme edits only ever change Custom.
    • Fix: green LED flickering between the red flashes while muted during a DMR
      QSO. The DMR RX handler re-asserts the green LED as soon as it reads it off, racing
      the main-loop mute clear; the green LED is now held off at the driver for the
      whole mute (and released on un-mute), so only the red flash shows.
    • screenshot.sh — a one-command wrapper around the OpenGD77 screen grabber
      that auto-detects the serial port and sets up a self-contained Python venv
      (pyserial + pillow) on first run. Saves to screenshots/.
