During this year's summer, in August, a long-standing issue was being dealt with of how time and time-zones are handled in Gadgetbridge for Huami devices. This resulted in a (finally) correct time to be sent to the watches, without time-zone related work around and guessing. Unfortunately, after the switch from daylight saving time (DST) back to normal time, one other place with an issue was discovered, which caused steps being not synchronized. We have fixed this issue and quickly made a release. After you update Gadgetbridge, all previously unsynchronized data will get synchronized automatically. As a result, world clocks and time zone indicators should show correct time, as well as GPS which might get a slightly faster position fix due to having correct initial time to start from. This fix is also fixing time-zone being sent to InfiniTime. Props to Andreas for the fast action on this!

We have received another contribution by Andy Böhler in the form of support for Casio STB-1000. Limitations of GB-5600B/GB-6900B apply. Many thanks!

On the true wireless earbuds front, in this Gadgetbridge version, we have added initial support for another new device, this time it is the original 2019 version of Samsung Galaxy Buds. Be aware that you should not have the Wear app running on the same device while trying to add these earbuds to Gadgetbridge, as these two apps may collide with each other. Adding support for this device would not have been possible without having the example of Nothing Ear (1) in Gadgetbridge codebase. <3
