    Release: v0.4.0 
    ## [0.4.0] - 2025-11-20

### General
- Reorganized CI/CD stages and simplified CI rules.
- Added new `diot_remote_reprog` project to the CI pipeline.
- Renamed PSU UCE project to **DIOT MPE** for RaToPUS testing.
- Added block diagram to LFS and improved Markdown formatting.

### Gateware
- Added PWM measurement module (period and duty cycle).
- Integrated PWM measurement into **diot_mpe** gateware.
- Disabled pulse generator in **diot_mpe**.
- Removed unused nanoFIP reset counter from **diot_wic**.
- Removed unused watchdog reset counter signal.
- Created new `gateware/cheby` project for remote-reprogramming demo to avoid modifying `diot_wic` pinout.
- Added aperiodic window support for diagnostics in CU-CU repeater testing.

### Software

#### CHARM / MPE Tools
- Updated `mpe_charm` login tool for new readouts.
- Removed ADC alerts from `mpe_charm` tools.
- Renamed charm tool for MPE test.

#### Hydra (Firmware & Tools)
- Removed ADC alerts from Hydra firmware.
- Added new MFIP/Hydra command to read/write the `jtag_sel` register.
- Added configuration and support for the aperiodic window.
- Reorganized software/hydra directory structure.
- Fixed compatibility with older/newer OS versions and updated firmware job to use base docker image.
- Updated dependencies: mockturtle **v4.3.3**, masterfip **v3.0.7**.
- Updated macrocycle validity return value after masterfip **v3.0.4** changes.
- Added I2C header package define and improved comments.
- Makefile cleanups: readability improvements, automatic source discovery, moved test firmware to `test/` directory with an independent Makefile.
- Split MFIP Hydra codebase into multiple files and removed unused functions.
- Performed linting improvements for several functions.
- Removed unused sources and reorganized headers in `mfip_hydra`.

### Documentation
- Added documentation for remote reprogramming.
- Improved Cheby documentation.
- Added comments regarding memory regions in `hydra-crt0.S` and `hydra-ram.ld`.

### Disclaimer

Starting from this release, the project switches to the new RaToPUS hardware revision, which includes **two ADCs per module instead of one**.  
This update requires corresponding changes in the Hydra firmware. As a result, **firmware and tools from versions earlier than 0.4.0 are not compatible with the new RaToPUS hardware**, and vice-versa.

All development after this version assumes the new dual-ADC RaToPUS and its updated Hydra firmware.
