There's a patch release for MicroPython, v1.24.1, out now:

Pre-built firmware downloads are already available:

Particularly useful for rp2 and ESP32 builds - and it's also a good idea to update mpremote:

1/6 🧵 I'm building what might be the smallest #opensource #spectrometer with an easy to use UI! I call it a pocket spectrometer. Combining #M5StickC (~$20) with AS7341 sensor (~$16). My goal? A complete spectrometer that is barely larger than a sample cuvette itself.
