The About page changelog is a hardcoded array, so it did not list v0.7.1 even though the title bar and About header already read 0.7.1 (those come from the assembly version). Also rework docs/release-notes/v0.7.1.md to the house format: New features before Bug fixes, bold group headings, and the standard Downloads table.

# v0.7.1 — Scripts stop losing commands to a booting device
|
|
|
|
## ✨ New features
|
|
|
|
**`sendlnretry` — send a command, confirm it ran, resend if it didn't**
|
|
* New TTL command: `sendlnretry '<text>' '<confirm keyword>' [max attempts]`.
|
|
It sends the text, then **waits for proof the device actually ran it**, and **resends** if that
|
|
proof never arrives. Leave the attempt count out and it retries until it gets through.
|
|
* Drop it in wherever you send a command right after a boot — the fragile
|
|
`pause` + `sendln` + `wait` dance becomes one line:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
wait 'root@(none):/#'
|
|
sendlnretry 'tpm2' 'TPM 2p0' ; retry until the device really runs it
|
|
wait 'PASS'
|
|
```
|
|
* Cap the attempts and handle the failure yourself — on success `result` is **1**;
|
|
when the attempts run out `result` is **0** and **the script carries on** instead of dying:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
sendlnretry 'tpm2' 'TPM 2p0' 3
|
|
if result = 0 then
|
|
dispstr 'tpm2 got no response after 3 tries'
|
|
endif
|
|
```
|
|
* Pick the confirm keyword from the command's **own output** (`TPM 2p0`), not its echo (`tpm2`) —
|
|
an echo is produced by the device's tty and doesn't prove the shell ever read the line.
|
|
* Each attempt waits **3 seconds** by default, or your `timeout` / `mtimeout` if you've set one.
|
|
(Unlike `wait`, `0` doesn't mean "wait forever" here — that would mean never retrying.)
|
|
|
|
## 🐛 Bug fixes
|
|
|
|
**Scripts no longer hang forever when a booting device swallows a command**
|
|
* Fixed: a device that is still booting can **silently discard console input** the moment its shell
|
|
takes over the tty. The line you sent is gone — the device never echoes it and never runs it —
|
|
so the `wait` that follows blocks forever and the test rig sits dead until someone notices.
|
|
* This is a race, not a delay: adding `pause` before `sendln` only lowers the odds of hitting the
|
|
window, it can never close it. In one overnight 45-cycle power-cycle run, **3 cycles hung this
|
|
way** — and the swallowed sends landed at exactly the same moment as the 42 that worked.
|
|
* Use the new `sendlnretry` above to make these sends reliable.
