- | 9.4.46 is a hotpatch to the 9.4.45 release. It fixes a problem with the Arduino interface receiving non-utf8 convertible data and fixes a problem with the new Kasa/TP-Link plugin not being able to create some kinds of new units that it discovers. No other changes or additions made from the previous release.\\ | + | Released 11/5/2022\\ |

- | ====9.4.45 Change Log:==== | + | NOTE that no database changes are made while updating to this version so if you do have issues with the new plugins you can return to the previous version by just replacing the previous executable. It should not be necessary to replace the Database with the backup version that will be made when running this version for the first time. |
- | * NEW: The application and the embedded python versions are now fully “universal” running natively on both M1 and Intel Macs. Some of the older plugins still include Intel executables | + | |
- | * NEW: The embedded python version is updated | + | ====9.4.48 Change Log:==== |
- | * NEW: Added a “Clear All Script Errors” | + | |
- | * NEW: Added new [[supported_hardware: | + | * NEW: An entirely new video subsystem is now in alpha testing. It is not feature complete |
- | * NEW: Added a very alpha version | + | |
- | * NEW: The Manage Global Scripts window will now display | + | |
- | * NEW: Added a “do not log” option | + | |
- | * UPDATE: The Apple Home Kit plugin has been updated to a version of the HAP libraries that support more recent Python versions. As of this build this doesn’t add any new functionality as I am just looking to verify that the old functionality still works. Once that is settled | + | |
- | * UPDATE: The [[supported_hardware: | + | * Both web remote plugins have been updated to be able to view video from both the old and the new system at the same time. It is not necessary to completely switch from one to the other. You can move only a single stream to the new system |
- | * FIX: The Kasa/ | + | * NEW: SMTP Passthrough Plugin. This is part of the new video support and is in a very alpha state as well. It is not feature complete indeed it cannot even do as it’s name suggests and pass the connection through to another server. If you have a camera |
- | | + | * FIX: Lots of fixes to the Hue plugin. There remained many issues related |
- | * UPDATE: The Weatherflow | + | * FIX: A problem with the Hubitat plugin |
- | * DOCUMENTATION: | + | * FIX: You can now delete items from the web remote interfaces. It was due to a sea change in how the data structures were handled under the hood but I think it’s coming together now. |
- | * CHANGE: In the Edit Unit Dialog | + | * FIX: Several |
- | * FIX: [[dictionary: | + | * NEW: Debug mode for new style plugins |
- | * FIX: Hue bulbs added to the [[supported_hardware: | + | |
- | * NEW: Genmon plugin adds the “slow polling” checkbox so that if you are connecting over a slow interface | + | Honestly I cannot overstate how much work the new video subsystem was to get working properly. There will definitely be major changes to the interfaces and everything else but it actually works now for recording and to the web remotes. Please give that a try even though there is not yet any more documentation than this document. |
- | * FIX: If the Genmon plugin encounters an error while parsing the return | + | |
- | * NEW: Genmon if new log lines are added to the generator logs of either events or errors and alerts they will get written | + | |
- | * FIX: Genmon plugin will update | + | |
- | * NEW: Genmon plugin now creates several more units that previously so that you can more easily catch an exercise event as opposed to actually running and providing power without having to watch the label of the main Status unit which is mostly for Display now as there are other ways to catch the actual information. These new units are as below: | + | |
- | * Error: Engine Speed High or Low | + | |
- | * Error: Governor failure | + | |
- | * Error: Low Oil | + | |
- | * Error: Overcrank | + | |
- | * Error: Overheat | + | |
- | * Error: Overload | + | |
- | * Error: RPM Sensor | + | |
- | * Error: Voltage High or Low | + | |
- | * Error: Warning (generator is sending | + | |
- | * Generator Is In Alarm | + | |
- | * Generator Is Running | + | |
- | * Generator Is Ready | + | |
- | * Generator Is Exercising | + | |
- | * Generator Is Ready | + | |
- | * Generator Service Is Due | + | |
- | * NOTE: The MQTT Broker plugin no longer functions with this version due to problems with the underlying libraries and python3. I am working on an MQTT broker plugin | + | |
- | * Phillips [[supported_hardware:wiz|“Wiz” lights | + | |
- | * [[supported_hardware: | + | |
- | * FIX: There was a potential timing issue that could cause queue management errors on more modern M1 machines that are so very much faster than older systems. I’ve never noticed this as it has literally never happened until I started upgrading things | + | |
- | * FIX: Several | + | |
- | * Beta Fix: In the beta version there were problems with Serial Port connections | + | |
- | **NOTE:** If you startup a plugin that has not been converted to the newer embedded python version the OS may display a warning dialog that the application will not run on future versions of the OS. Since not all plugins are converted and tested yet you may see this. Make sure to stick around long enough when starting up the new version to OK this dialog. It will not appear again until you next update the Application, | ||
+ | * All plugins that previously used the system install of Python2 have been upgraded to run with the embedded python3 version. This makes the app more easily compatible with the latest MacOS versions that no longer include the older python version by default. This did necessitate many changes to the plugins themselves and while they have been running just fine here and for the beta testers there may still be some gotchas in there. If you experience any issues as your plugins are starting up please copy and paste the log entries of any errors and email them to me. | ||
+ | * Specific list of plugins that were converted: | ||
+ | * W8002 (the new API W800 plugin, the original W800 plugin is still included and was not affected.) | ||
+ | * Arduino | ||
+ | * Barix | ||
+ | * APC Status | ||
+ | * DIY | ||
+ | * Haiku Fans | ||
+ | * iTach | ||
+ | * Max Sonar | ||
+ | * RadioRA2 | ||
+ | * RFX and RFX New plugins (again not affecting the legacy versions of these which are still included and are unchanged) | ||
+ | * pigpio | ||
+ | * FIX: Unrelated to the Python3 conversion several places in the Hue Hub plugin that were throwing errors under some conditions were also fixed. | ||
+ | * The Alexa Sudo plugin now uses a shared connection to the UPNP port so that it can play nice with other plugins that need this connectivity as well. | ||
+ | * FIX: the tpLink/Kasa plugin had some code typos in rarely used error handling that could throw additional errors and fail to output anything useful to debug the error. This is now fixed. Additionally a problem was fixed where if Units existed in XTension for devices that were not initially found on the network they would throw errors during regular polling, this is also fixed. | ||
+ | * NEW: Scheduled Events are now searched from the search window. If you search for a Unit or Script that is referenced in a scheduled event it will show up in the results list now. | ||
+ | * Changes: Several updates were made to the plugin includes to add some extra error debugging and other convenience functions. This should not affect any of the existing plugins but will help to ease some better error handling in the future. | ||
