rc2 is now released with only one significant change - rainbow update to 0.1.4, fixes brightness changing over time. Changelog was also updated to include an upstream bind security update.
I now noticed that the LEDs do a very quick white knight rider about once a minute. I tried to capture a video of it, but it is very fast, and in slow-mo, there wasn’t enough light for the video yesterday evening… I definitely do not issue this knight rider command myself. The only thing I do is periodically setting brightness based on day/night via rainbow.
MOX classic, HBK branch, .5 GB, 2x WiFi, simple config.

It is not directly related to update. These errors show whenever you call the rainbow command. And this update updates rainbow and probably just re-runs it after the update. That’s why the errors show up. Practically, it seems to me that these errors are harmless - rainbow always does its job correctly.
