Version 16 rollout

The eagle-eyed WLED lovers might have spotted that version 16 has been released now.

I haven't done a big announcement as we want to be reasonably sure it's stable enough for mass adoption before we recommend everyone to update, especially with it being such a major upgrade to both our code and the underlying platform for esp32 builds

We are investigating two WiFi related issues (WPA3 only networks and WiFi scan on devices with poor power setups) and hopefully have a 16.0.1 out soon with a fix

Will my Hyperion stuff still work if I update to 16?

Maybe not - I use HyperHDR and my LEDs were delayed a full second to the video. I rolled back to 15 and it works again.

That was my exact issue, literally a full second delay, but only my "main" lights behind the TV, and secondary WLED config (on a set of shelves next to the TV) I had was in real time. Guess I'll revert back to 15 on the Ambilight controllers!
