v2.6.5
======

v2.6.5 is a maintenance release that fixes board detection when the license
check is disabled, hardens the Erase Flash Filesystem operation, and corrects
the macOS helper scripts generated for DFU flashing and video conversion. It
remains based on Qt Creator 4.0.2 with no breaking changes.

Highlights
----------

- **Board detection without license check:** board type and ID are now
  reported correctly even when the license check is disabled.
- **More reliable Erase Flash Filesystem:** the erase operation now retries
  cleanly when the bootloader connection does not finish.
- **Fixed macOS helper scripts:** generated DFU and video shell scripts no
  longer emit a trailing blank line.

Bug fixes
---------

- Fixed board type and board ID detection when the license check is disabled.
  Only the online license verification is now gated behind the
  ``disableLicenseCheck`` flag, so ``m_boardType`` and ``m_boardId`` are always
  set during board detection
  (`b1fe54397 <https://github.com/openmv/qt-creator/commit/b1fe54397>`__).
- Improved the reliability of the **Erase Flash Filesystem** operation. The
  temporary erase file is no longer auto-removed, and the IDE now waits one
  second before retrying when the bootloader connection does not finish
  (`210284692 <https://github.com/openmv/qt-creator/commit/210284692>`__).
- Fixed the generated macOS helper shell scripts for DFU firmware flashing and
  ``ffmpeg``/``ffplay`` video conversion and playback. The ``#!/bin/sh``
  command strings no longer append a trailing blank newline
  (`0b783346a <https://github.com/openmv/qt-creator/commit/0b783346a>`__).

Platform and tool support
-------------------------

- **Qt Creator base:** 4.0.2.
- OpenMV IDE version bumped from 2.6.4 to 2.6.5.

Breaking changes
----------------

None. This release is fully backward compatible; existing projects and
workflows are unaffected.
