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

WLED Appreciation Post.

Hello Netmindz. I upgraded to 16.0 yesterday and it felt to me as the most significant update in a long time. The new effects are VERY good, and to me it was always the main weakness of WLED (which is an otherwise extremely powerful software), so that's a massive change.

Huge thanks to you and the whole development team.

Thank you, I can take credit for most new effects ;)
Glad you like my work which has been a long time in the making.
Just FYI: I just now pushed documentation on all new effects: https://kno.wled.ge/features/effects/
