Thanks to the hard work of many contributors, CHDK 1.5 is released.
What's newSee
http://chdk.wikia.com/wiki/Releases#1.5 for an overview of signification changes. See also the
1.5 development planning threadWhere to get itUse
stick or
CHIMP or download from
Latest stable section of the download pageIf downloading / updating manually,
be sure to download the "complete" package.
If there's anything you wouldn't want to lose on the card you are installing it on (scripts, existing CHDK install or CFG files, precious cat photos), backing up is a good idea.
Compatibility- CHDK 1.4 scripts should be compatible. CHDK 1.5 adds additional functions, but does not significantly change behavior of existing functions. If @chdk_version is not specified in the script header, a warning is displayed and CHDK 1.3 compatible behavior is used.
- CFG files: CHDK 1.5 uses the same CFG files as 1.4. It should generally be compatible and retain your settings, but if you don't want to risk re-doing your CFG, backing up the CHDK/*.CFG files before updating is recommended. CFGs from 1.3 or 1.2 should also probably work.
- Modules, language files and Lua libraries are NOT compatible. You must update these when you update your build, meaning use the "full" download.

If the camera crashes (shuts down unexpectedly) please get a romlog as described on
http://chdk.wikia.com/wiki/Debugging#Camera_crash_logs_.28romlog.29 and post it as an attachment.
Note: If a post looks like it will lead to a lot of back and forth, I will probably split it to a new thread. This doesn't mean you did anything wrong
