Download the 3.0.2 release from https://github.com/adafruit/circuitpython/releases/tag/3.0.2.

This is the a bug fix and minor feature release for the 3.x stable series. There are a few important fixes and some additions to busio.UART. Please check out the 3.0.0 release notes for full details on what’s new in 3.0.0.

Changes since 3.0.1

• Adjust neopixel write timings on the M4: On-board NeoPixel stopped working on M4 boards in 3.0.1. Thanks to @jerryneedell for the fix and testing, and @ash0x1b for the issue.
• Handle USB output buffer >255 characters. Thanks @daguitarguy for the issue, initially noticed in the REPL, and thanks @dhalbert for the fix.
• When UART timeout of zero is given, make UART.read() return available data. Thanks to @PaulKierstead for the fix.
• Re-initialize default board busses on soft reset (board.SPI, board.I2C, board.UART). Thanks @dhalbert.
• Add UART.in_waiting and UART.reset_input_buffer(), which mirror functionality in PySerial. Thanks@dhalbert, and thanks to @ladyada for the suggestions.
