bugfixes

Bugfixes
- –debuglevel=2 replaced –debuglevel=1. Now both are allowed.
Change functionality
- Openweathermap now requires a personal API key. Until now, a free pilight organization API key was used, but that exceeded the maximum allowed requests per minute.
Bugfixes
- Actually allow –debuglevel=2 to see additional mail logging
Bugfixes
- Readded min / max dimlevel in generic_dimmer, but validation is still disabled
New functionality
- IPv6 support for all in library clients
- Disable min / max dimlevel in generic_dimmer
Internal core changed
- Callback in mail library when host is not reachable
- Shutdown on more signals
Bugfixes
- Fixed pilight removal with apt
- Calling REST API with socket API
- Prevent using
. as message body
- Segfault due to wrong memory freeing
New functionality
- webGUI long labels are wrapped
Internal core changed
- Olsen timezone database is now used for timezone parsing
- 433.92Mhz now respect the UUID setting
- improved datetime, openweathermap, weatherunderground, and sunriseset library
Bugfixes
- config not being saved at shutdown
Bugfixes
- webgui labels are word-wrapped into multiple lines on small screens
- webgui takes
stats-enable into account by hiding CPU stats
- memory usage statistics has been removed because they were unreliable
- arctech_dimmer signals sent by pilight are now correctly received by pilight as well
webserver, mail and http library
At this moment the https, mail, and webserver module and the full pilight-sha256 program has been backported from rewrite. The asynchronous I/O library libuv has been added as well as the new SSL and eventpool module. The openweathermap and weather underground protocols have been adapted to use this new code as well as the pushbullet and pushover event actions.
pilight now supports a HTTPS webserver which can be configured in the settings:
{ "webserver-https-port": 5002 }
pilight also stopped detecting if the mailserver you have configures requires an SSL connection. To tell pilight about the SSL requirement of a mail server a new setting has been added. Servers that switch from a plain connection to SSL require a 0 value here:
Bugfixes
- wiringX log was scrambled
Bugfixes
- gpio_switch protocol that stops working after a while
- pilight not starting at boottime
Note
Not all changes from development where ported to stable. Especially the rules can break when upgraded from the latest development to the latest stable. Porting the new eventing code is in the planning real soon, but until then, just stick with development.
