## Latest Features (September 1st, 2016)
* DotStar (APA102) support.
* HslColor and HsbColor now includes a Bilinear blend methods.
## Latest Features (July 3rd, 2016)
* [NeoEsp8266AsyncUart800KbpsMethod](https://github.com/Makuna/NeoPixelBus/wiki/NeoPixelBus-object#neoesp8266asyncuart800kbpsmethod) - This Esp8266 specific method uses the UART interrupt to read from a secondary buffer to send the data to the NeoPixels. It requires very little CPU overhead but does require an extra buffer similar to the Dma method.
* [HtmlColor::Parse](https://github.com/Makuna/NeoPixelBus/wiki/HtmlColor-object-API#size_t-parseconst-char-name-size_t-namesize) will parse a string looking for standard Html/CSS3 color names and values.
