Releases: OpenScan-org/OpenScan3
v0.7.0

Firmware Changes
- Support for generic LinuxPy/V4L2 cameras.
- Improve project handling and added thumbnails, filesize, photo indices and path metadata.
- Fix OpenScanCloud related issues.
- Improve camera preview API endpoint to support different FPS and snapshots.
- Add API endpoints for retrieving photos (plus metadata) of a Scan.
Frontend Changes
This firmware release should work with Github/OpenScan3-Client v0.2.0
- Added OpenScanCloud support.
- Varoius UI and UX tweaks.
Updating Images
This release can be safely updated from the previous version v0.6.0 using the updater.

Features
Frontend
This firmware release should work with Github/OpenScan3-Client v0.1.2
Please keep in mind we're at an alpha stage, where we put a lot of moving parts together. The Frontend is still a prototype, in which we used generated types and labels from the backend, so expect some improper descriptions and placeholders here and there.
Firmware
- PR #31 Changed the firmware package name to
openscan_firmware. - PR #32 Moved FastAPI router to separate folders.
- Light config: renamed
pwmtopwm_support; legacy device JSON/test fixtures must update field names! - Improved docs and field descriptions strings.
Image
- The built-in updater now points to official repositories and the main branch of the firmware.
- Optimized installing of dependencies when updating.
Please backup all your scans before updating. We can't guarantee integrity during alpha development stage.
Raspberry Pi Images
Since this is a new minor release, you need to download a new image (or build your own).
Instructions:
- Download the image (imx519 or hawkeye)
- Flash the image to a microSD card using Raspberry Pi imager (optionally setup wifi and user through the imager settings)
- Insert the microSD card and start the device, the interface will be available at http://openscan3-alpha.local/
For more detailed information and the source code for the image generation see GitHub/OpenScan3-pi-gen
Feedback
We would love to hear your suggestions or bug reports. If you encounter bugs please submit the logs along. You can download the logs from within the new Frontend.
v0.5.0
At this point, the firmware is in alpha stage, so overall functionality is given, but we will add/change things regularly. Please help us with those improvements by joining the discussion on Discord or create Issues.
Features
Frontend
This release features a fresh approach to a modern responsive UI built with Quasar based on Github/OpenScan3-Client.
Please keep in mind we're at an alpha stage, where we put a lot of moving parts together. The Frontend is a prototype, in which we used generated types and labels from the backend so expect some improper descriptions and placeholders here and there.
We decided to not include the node-RED frontend from previous builds in this release.
Firmware
- #28: see PR description for changes.
- #29: adds root path for uvicorn to make the API accessible on
/api.
Future Updates
With the built-in updater script, it is possible to update both the Frontend and the Firmware backend. We will constantly ship new updates and they will be applicable with the updater.
Please backup all your scans before updating. We can't guarantee integrity during alpha development stage.
