<p>
We're back with a small hotfix!</p>
<p>
<h2>Fixes:</h2>
<ul>
<li>Fixed serial port selection for serial monitor.</li>
<li>Fixed launch issue on Ubuntu.</li>
</ul>

<p>
We're unveiling a new addition to our DSX family of microcontroller simulators! Please welcome the <b>Adafruit
CLUE
simulator</b> 💕🔍.<br>
This change is <b>hidden</b> under a preview flag by default. <a
href="https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-python-devicesimulator/blob/dev/README.md#how-to-enable-preview-flag">See
here</a> to learn how to enable
preview mode!<br>
</p>
<p>
Also, support for <b>BBC micro:bit</b> simulation is now <b>officially released</b>! 💖✨ Previously, it was hidden
behind a
preview flag.
</p>
<p>
<h2>Features:</h2>
<ul>
<li>Added the support for the <b>Adafruit CLUE</b>! This is hidden behind a preview flag by default.
<ul>
<li>
Added CLUE Simulator, featuring simulation for the following:
<ul>
<li>240x240 color display.</li>
<li>Sensors (for temperature, light, color, acceleration, humidity, pressure, proximity,
gestures, gyro, and magnetic field).</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Implemented deploy-to-device for CLUE.</li>
<li>CLUE code debugger integration.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Support for <b>BBC micro:bit</b> is now fully released and will appear by default.</li>

</p>
<p>
<h2>Changes:</h2>
<li>Due to necessary serial monitor fixes, <b>the extension is now only supported on VS Code v1.43+</b></li>
<li>New "Getting Started" page containing CPX, micro:bit, and CLUE example code.</li>
<li>Incorporated support for gesture simulation on the micro:bit.</li>
<li>Tab UI now has callout for "about" information on each sensor/input option.</li>
<li>The CircuitPython Neopixel and Adafruit_Fancyled libraries can now be used with the Adafruit CPX without
importing the CPX library. <a
href="https://circuitpython.readthedocs.io/projects/fancyled/en/latest/examples.html">See here</a>
for an example.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Changes:</h2>
<ul>
<li>Command palette only shows actions (ie: Open Simulator, Deploy to Device) once instead of per device.
</li>
