'''''MOST OF THIS PAGE IS TAKEN FROM''''' https://support.digitaldreamlabs.com/article/108-vector-changelog-and-known-issues, '''''THANKS DDL.''''' i guess...

=== Vector Operating System Version 2.0.1 (2.0.1.6076) ===

* '''Release Date: September 26th, 2022'''

** Optimizations:

*** Adjusted temperature thresholds for consistency. This will result in fewer unnecessary overheat warnings from Vector during times of warm ambient temperatures when Vector is not actually overheating.

** Bug Fixes:

*** Fixed a bug which would set the state of the robot to "too hot to charge" if Vector was set on the charger unexpectedly. This was a false positive for being too hot to charge, and caused Vector to sleep much more than necessary. Vector should now spend much more time out of the charger.

=== Vector Operating System Version 2.0.0 (2.0.0.6074) ===

* '''Release Date: August 17th, 2022'''

** Changes:

*** Added support for new camera, display, and other hardware in Vector 2.0.

**** This release maintains full backwards compatibility with Vector Gen 1 and can be loaded onto Gen 1 units.

*** Software loading endpoint updated.

=== Vector Operating System Version 1.8.1 (1.8.1.6051) ===

* '''Release Date: February 2022'''

** Bug Fixes:

*** Animations that were missing for cold and snowy weather will now display correctly.

** Optimizations:

*** NTP is now forced to pull from time servers immediately when a Wi-Fi connection is obtained, significantly reducing "Can't Connect to Wi-Fi" errors when onboarding with the app after a reset.

=== Vector Operating System Version 1.8.0 (1.8.0.6021) ===

* '''Release Date: September 2021'''

** Vector can now accept any eye color you want to set for him! Find this setting in the mobile app under the Settings menu, below the predefined Eye Color options.

** You can now ask questions and follow-ups much faster! The "I have a question" conversation piece is now optional for 1.8 users.

** New boot animation

** Thanks to contributions from community member Kerigan Creighton, Vector will no longer shiver uncontrollably when he's done dancing or telling you the weather! Thanks Kerigan!

=== Vector Operating System Version 1.7.3 (1.7.3.6016) (Escape Pod ONLY) ===

* '''Release Date: March 8th, 2021'''

** Replaced vic-cloud and vic-gateway binaries to ensure compatibility with Escape Pod

** Replaced server-config.json to connect to Escape Pod.

=== Vector Operating System Version 1.7.0 (1.7.0.3412) ===

* '''Release Date: July 6th, 2020'''

** Rebranding from Anki to Digital Dream Labs

** Bug fixes & polish:

*** Vector is now '''much''' more responsive to his wake word, "Hey Vector"

*** Vector now has new sounds for some animations and interactions to make him cuter and more lifelike.

*** New animation / sprite system to better manage battery life

*** Other battery optimizations & improvements

*** The rate of Error 898 screens is significantly decreased.

*** Overall bug fixes / polish.

** Known Issues:

*** Vector may shiver uncontrollably after being asked to dance- or when asked about weather where it's cold!

*** Intermittent wake word recognition failures on a small number of units are being investigated and are expected to be patched in a future software update.

=== Vector Operating System Version 1.6.0 (1.6.0.3331) ===

* '''Rolling Release date: April, 15 - 23, 2019'''

** New robot updates including:

*** Low Light Charging (see below video): It’s now easier for Vector to find his charger, even if the lights are low - so he’s less likely to run out of power in the middle of the night

*** New Voice Command: Change Vector's Eye Color - Use your voice to change Vector’s eye color. Just say, “Hey Vector, change your eye color to [blue, green, orange, yellow, purple, or lime].”

*** New Behavior: Hold Vector in the palm of your hand and watch as he cozies up to you in robot bliss

** Bug fixes & polish:

*** Improved voice recognition

*** Overall performance improvements

** This release will be incrementally rolled out over the course of a week starting Monday, April 15. Staggering availability to an increasing number of robots allows us to ensure the update is working as expected. Every Vector owner that leaves their robot on overnight, should be updated by April 23. To make sure your Vector is updated, leave your Vector running and connected to your Wi-Fi, and he’ll update himself automatically during his normal nightly reboot

=== Vector Operating System Version 1.5.0 (1.5.0.3009) ===

* '''Rolling Release date: March, 18 - March, 21 2019'''

** Adds support so that you can choose to enable Amazon Alexa in the UK and AU

** With Spring just around the corner, Vector’s “snow globe” animation is going back into the closet with his scarf and galoshes. Now, when you shake him, he’ll get a little dizzy - so be careful!

=== Vector Operating System Version 1.4.1 (1.4.1.2806) ===

* '''Rolling Release date: March, 4 - March, 6 2019'''

** This update shortens the amount of time it takes for Vector to sync with his Cube

*** Please note that Vector can interact with his Cube without its lights displaying, so you might not always notice improvements in Cube connectivity unless you are using his SDK

** Includes Face Recognition improvements that help Vector to better handle his interactions with faces he's already learned

** Improvements to how Vector navigates, especially when he is leaving and returning to his Charger and helps him avoid getting stuck on table edges

*** After this update, if he happens to get caught on a table edge, he now asks for help

=== Vector Operating System Version 1.3.0 (1.3.0.2510) ===

* '''Rolling Release date: January, 15 - January, 16 2019'''

** Snow globe! Vector reacts to being shaken with a new unique reaction for winter

** Ask your Vector how old he is by saying, “Hey Vector, how old are you?“

** Bug fixes & polish

=== Vector Operating System Version 1.2.3 (1.2.3.2506) ===

* '''Rolling Release date: January, 7 - January, 9 2019'''

** Vector OS 1.2.3 significantly decreases the occurrence of 915 and 981 status codes

** Bug fixes & polish

=== Vector Operating System Version 1.2.2 (1.2.2.2353) ===

* '''Release date: December, 19 2018'''

** Bug fixes & polish

=== Vector Operating System Version 1.2.1 (1.2.1.2343) ===

** Workaround: Please pet Vector for several seconds, then try your voice query again. You may also reboot him by pressing on his back button for 5 seconds until his screen turns off, then waiting for a few seconds before tapping his Back button again to boot him back up. If these fail, you can roll back to version 1.6.

* On Vector firmware 1.7, Vector may not recognize edges or cliffs- this is an intermittent issue and does not affect all units.

=== Android crashes ===

* Please check you have at least 1GB RAM on your Android device
