- | 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.\\ | + | |

- | ====9.4.45 Change Log:==== | + | NOTE that no database changes are made while updating |
- | * 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 or libraries | + | |

- | * UPDATE: The Weatherflow plugin is promoted from beta to a 1.0 version. It also now runs under the embedded Python3.10 version rather than the system python | + | |

- | * 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 it will function more reliably. | + | |
- | * FIX: If the Genmon plugin encounters an error while parsing the return from the remote device the proper error handlers in XTension are run as expected. | + | |
- | * NEW: Genmon if new log lines are added to the generator logs of either events or errors and alerts they will get written to the XTension log. | + | |
- | * FIX: Genmon plugin will update the label for the status object even if the actual state of the status object has not changed. | + | |

- | * 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 to the faster machines. This problem is fixed making packet reception from plugins as reliable as I thought it was previously. | + | |
- | * FIX: Several potential errors and rendering problems on M1 Macs are fixed in this version. | + | |
- | * Beta Fix: In the beta version there were problems with Serial Port connections for plugins which is fixed for this release. | + | |
- | **NOTE:** If you startup | + | |
+ | | ||
+ | * **RTSP Video** connects to an rtsp stream and makes it’s stream available to XTension for display in any of the web remotes or recording via the Video Encoder Service. | ||
+ | * **MJPEG Video** This plugin can connect to any of the older devices that still use an mjpeg stream to send video. Otherwise all the same as the RTSP video setup. | ||
+ | * **JPEG Refresh Video** There still remain many older cameras that do not support anything that is currently avauilable or some that perhaps you only want a low refresh rate of still images and for those the JPEG refresh plugin is the answer. The framerate of these will be much less than any of the others but will work with anything that has a “show me a snapshot” type link anywhere in their interface. | ||
+ | * 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 for testing and keep Video Pitcher running normally until we’re | ||
+ | * 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 | ||
+ | * FIX: Lots of fixes to the Hue plugin. There remained many issues related to the python version change as well as some related to how they represented sensors. All of the remaining issues have been fixed and the plugin should run more normally now without receiving updates constantly for the various sensor types once their battery level has changed as they did in the past. I am about to start reviewing the 2.0 version of the their API to see if that more easily gets us the data than the original API. If this is something you want to use or if you use one of these hubs at all please let me know so I can prioritize it. | ||
+ | * FIX: A problem with the Hubitat | ||
+ | * 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. | ||
+ | * FIX: Several typos and other should have been obvious but weren’t errors in the TCPLink/ | ||
+ | * NEW: Debug mode for new style plugins (not any of the legacy plugins) is now preserved across restarts, so if there is a problem during the initial loading it’s a lot easier to get that output without having to run special versions. | ||
+ | * FIX: Many other smaller errors in various other plugins related to the switch from python2 to python3 have been fixed as well. Please test anything that wasn’t working for you before and re-submit any log output for issues to me as I am better able to know where the issues actually are at this point. | ||
+ | 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. | ||
