oha - that same issue is just hitting us -
we have educational events at schools here with about 2-5 of this screens on every event...
and with about 120events a year and about 120 different mentor people it would really be nice to have just working libraries....
(it is hard to get this info to all the needed people...)

please!! just a new release!!

pleas @Pillar1989 are you able to do a new release?
so that there will be a new version in the arduino library manager?

i think these steps are needed:

• increase version number:
  https://github.com/Seeed-Studio/Grove_LCD_RGB_Backlight/blob/master/library.properties#L2
• create a new tag / release

i checked with the 'arduino-lint` tool and there were NO ERRORS. so that should really be it.

big thank you!!!

hello @Pillar1989,
i just wondered why the new release is not showing up in the Arduino IDE.
and so i looked into the log files from the indexer:
https://downloads.arduino.cc/libraries/logs/github.com/Seeed-Studio/Grove_LCD_RGB_Backlight/

2024/06/20 22:07:30 Scraping https://github.com/Seeed-Studio/Grove_LCD_RGB_Backlight.git
2024/06/20 22:07:30 Checking out tag: 1.0.0
2024/06/20 22:07:30 Release Grove - LCD RGB Backlight:1.0.0 already loaded, skipping
2024/06/20 22:07:30 Checking out tag: 1.0.1
2024/06/20 22:07:30 Release Grove - LCD RGB Backlight:1.0.0 already loaded, skipping

there it shows one really important information:
you have created the tag 1.0.1 - but this points to the repo with the library.properties old value of 1.0.0

so the safest thing would be to update the library.properties file to 1.0.2 and after this commit do a release with a version 1.0.2
than the indexer should be happy! :-)
