Quick overview about the changes, more details found on Github (post link).

  • Reduced memory footprint in flash memory: the analog watch face draws the background at runtime instead of using a pre-defined background picture and we moved the font for the navigation app to the external memory.
  • Improved raise-to-wake algorithm and new lower-to-sleep functionality
  • New weather service and new setting to select °C/°F
  • The build system now allows to easily select which user applications and watch faces are built into the firmware
  • Replace the node.js tool that convert the images (lv_img_conv) by a custom re-implementation in Python
  • InfiniLink, the iOS companion app has a new maintainer! I will probably wait with the update for a week or two, as 1.13 came riddled with bugs.

Edit: Ah, have to wait for the new Gadgetbridge update anyways.

Unfortunately there is a bug with v0.77.0 of Gadgetbridge on Android 14, that means that it can't update InfiniTime. We have submitted a fix, which will be available in the next release of Gadgetbridge. In the meantime, you can use another device to do the upgrade or use a nightly build of GadgetBridge (it's recommended to use the no pebble flavour, as that can be installed alongside your existing GadgetBridge app).

Getting my hands on a pinetime in a week, super looking forward to it!

So as I understand it Gadgetbridge updates the InfiniTime itself? Or will I have to do it manually (and is manual even an option with the sealed non-dev version)?

So-and-so. You can upload firmware packages to the connected watch via Gadgetbridge. The process is straight forward. If you need any help later on, hit me up.

Looking forward to 1.14 as well. Started with 1.12 and the 1.13 update already was a huge improvement.
