[2024-09-25]

v2.06.02 GoPro HERO12 & Beyond Support
[2023-09-17]

• Fix for GoPro HERO12 not using a delay that was needed for the GoPro HERO11/Mini. Without this fix, connecting to the H12 while it is booting up may corrupt the BLE subsystem. The green standby LED will be locked in this case. A battery pull is needed to restart the camera if this occurs, powering off will not fix it!
