InfiniTime – one of the many firmwares available for Pine64’s PineTime smartwatch – 1.11, codenamed “Red Nectarine,” adds support for external resources, while adding two new watch faces. In regards to the former, this allows the developers to store “heavy data,” such as fonts and images, into the external flash memory. This frees up more resources to the main memory of the watch. As a result of this move, this makes adding support for new watch faces and apps easier.

It’s been a few months since the last 1.9.0 update for the InfiniTime firmware for the PineTime. Version 1.10.0 mostly has under the hood changes, which are “very important for the maintenance of the project,” but there are still some goodies here for you and I to enjoy. Here’s some of the new features: Timer app has a re-designed UI to make the buttons easier to press. You can also hold the buttons down to quickly change the value notifications can now be dismissed by right-swiping the screen you can now record GIFs with InfiniSim sleep time is now faster improved colors on the LCD There’s also been a few bug fixes, including the track progress now correctly being displayed in the Music app and the alarm should now always ring.

The PineTime is a smartwatch powered by open-source firmware. One such popular firmware to run on the PineTime is InfiniTime. This weekend, InfiniTime received a decently-sized update, codenamed “Limeberry”. This update includes a new terminal-themed watchface, the ability to turn Bluetooth on or off with the flip of a switch, improved notifications, improved heartrate measurements, an improved alarm clock, a few bug fixes, and a few other features. In addition, code has been cleaned up and integration with the InfiniSim simulator has been improved.
