WLED version 0.8.1

Extended palette support and a few quality-of-life additions!

• Almost all effects can now use FastLED palettes
• Added Colortwinkles and Lake effects
• Added Tiamat and April Night palettes
• Fixed Analog Clock and Tricolor chase bugs
• Added possibility to use any pin on ESP8266 (gpio2 still recommended)
• Increased max. UDP leds from 341 to 490 and added DNRGB protocol
• Added support for E1.31 with more than 170 LEDs
• Restored 512K ESP8266-01 support

WLED version 0.8.0

Mesmerizing new effects and MQTT support!

• Added over 20 new light effects
• 9 effects have support for FastLED color palettes
• Added 44 color palettes
• Added Palette blending options and API calls
• Added MQTT support

Please keep in mind that 0.8.0 will not work on ESP-01 with 512K flash. On ESPs with 1M flash, OTA update will likely no longer work. Efforts will be made to restore compatibility for 0.8.1!

Blynk, Hue sync and MQTT all need to connect to external hosts to work, which could cause significant slowdowns. If you experience instabilities, try disabling these interfaces.

With this update, the LED driver library can be dynamically reallocated. This means you can now change the LED count as well as the type (RGB/RGBW) while the software is running. Because of this, adding support of more LEDs was possible (clock function not yet supported on LEDs >255)!
