+* [Library](https://github.com/ofabel/mp-flipper/tree/lib) to include in the [firmware repository](https://github.com/ofabel/flipperzero-firmware).
+* All generated files from the build prozess are now [part of the repository](https://github.com/ofabel/mp-flipper/tree/lib-release).
+* Enabled split heap support for MicroPython:
+  * The runtime can allocate and free heap memory.
+  * Allows to start the Python process with small heap.
+* Enabled scheduler support (required for interrupt handling).
+* Enabled support for module `__init__` functions.
+* Stabilized `flipperzero` module API:
+  * Canvas support has now a proper implementation.
+  * Interrupts from buttons are supported.

 # MicroPython Flipper Zero
 
-This branch contains the research of adding [Python](https://www.python.org) support to the famous [Flipper Zero](https://flipperzero.one/) gadget.
-~~The content of this repository is just work in progress at the moment.
-But the first working examples already look promising.~~
-The research phase was successful and the development has moved to a [fork of the original firmware](https://github.com/ofabel/flipperzero-firmware).
+This branch contains the [FAP](https://developer.flipper.net/flipperzero/doxygen/apps_on_sd_card.html) version of the [MicroPython](https://micropython.org/) support for the famous [Flipper Zero](https://flipperzero.one/) gadget.
+The results of the preceding research phase is still available in the [poc](https://github.com/ofabel/mp-flipper/tree/poc) branch.
 The [lib](https://github.com/ofabel/mp-flipper/tree/lib) branch of this repository contains just the MicroPython library.
+The progress of further research on what can be achieved when moving functionality to the firmware can be found in the [fork of the original firmware](https://github.com/ofabel/flipperzero-firmware).
 
 Check the progress in this [issue](https://github.com/flipperdevices/flipperzero-firmware/issues/3559) and feel free to share your thoughts and ideas.

+## Install
+
+To install a [release](https://github.com/ofabel/mp-flipper/releases) by hand, just copy the `mp_flipper_app.fap` file on the SD card of your flipper (e.g. using the [qFlipper](https://flipperzero.one/downloads) app):
+
+![](./assets/qflipper.png)
+
+You should now be able to start the application on your Flipper: Apps > Tools > uPython
+
+_You might need to unconnect qFlipper first to free some space in SRAM._
+
 ## Usage
 
-The application just starts with an open file browser.
-Here you can select any Python file to compile and execute from the SD card.
+Just place your Python files somewhere on the SD card.

 ## Disclaimer
 
-**This is work in progress and just a proof of concept.**
-The produced application has very limited functionality at the moment and since the whole application runs in the SRAM there is not much space left.
-However, the Python application itself can use about 16 kB of heap space (minus up to 2 kB for the stack).
+This FAP version requires about 120 kB from SRAM to start (needed for the Python runtime and compiler).
+Due to memory fragmentation it's possible, that the application crashes when you start it (tested with the original 0.100.3 firmware).
+If this happens, just try again (the crash doesn't harm your device).
+
+**This is still work in progress, but already more than just a proof of concept.**
+
+There is no documentation of the `flipperzero` module.
+Just checkout the [examples](./examples/) for the syntax.
+Sadly, REPL support is only available in fhe [firmware fork](https://github.com/ofabel/flipperzero-firmware) version.
