* Support for LCN (layout control nodes)
* mySetup.h file that acts like an Autoexec.Bat command to send startup commands to the CS
* High Accuracty Waveform option for rock steady DCC signals
* New current response outputs current in mA, overlimit current, and maximum board capable current. Support for new current meter in JMRI
* USB Browser based EX-WebThrottle
* New, simpler, function control command
* Number of locos discovery command `<#>`
* Emergency stop command <!>
* Release cabs from memory command <-> all cabs, <- CAB> for just one loco address
* Automatic slot (register) management
* Automation (coming soon)

- **Wi-Fi** - works, but can be challenging to use if you want to switch between AP mode and STA station mode.
- **Pololu Motor Shield** - is supported with this release, but the user may have to play around with some timings to enable programming mode due to limitation in its current sensing circuitry
