-====9.4.28 Change Log====+====9.4.29 Change Log:==== 
 +This release is a hot patch to solve some problems with the new version of the Home Kit plugin that was included in the last release. The new encryption libraries caused many people to be unable to use the plugin. This version fixes that problem. There are no other changes in 9.4.29. The 9.4.28 release notes are included below:

 +====9.4.28 Change Log:==== 
   * NEW: The Return Of Alexa! This version has newer plugin versions that can get around the recent changes that Amazon added to their Alexa firmware. **There are several install requirements and configuration changes that are necessary before they will run.** Please have a look at the the [[supported_hardware:alexa|Original Alexa Plugin page]] and the new [[supported_hardware:alexasudo|Alexa Sudo page]]. The changes from Amazon make it impossible to run more than one instance of an Alexa plugin on the same machine and so I have also [[supported_hardware:alexapi|ported the code to the Raspberry pi]] so that you can run as many on those devices as necessary if you need to share more than the allowed 20 unit limit.    * NEW: The Return Of Alexa!

   * NEW: The first pass at a Catalina capable RFX plugin for the newer RFX devices. This plugin is in alpha at the moment and incomplete. It does not try to transmit and does not yet support the lighting device types. It is limited to receiving the receive only sensors from Oregon and others. Please do not actually convert your existing plugin to this yet as things may change. Please do disable the current plugin and create a new one using the new plugin to test it. See if the devices you have are properly received and that new units are created in XTension. If you see any errors in the log when receiving them please forward those log entries to me. If you have other problems please also email me that. I will be adding support for the lighting and other transmit capable devices soon.   * NEW: The first pass at a Catalina capable RFX plugin for the newer RFX devices.
