+ | **Rosetta Note:** While the entirety of the main app and all more recent plugins are Universal and run natively on Intel or Apple Silicon there are a few older plugins including the W800 and CM11 that are still Intel only. They run fine under Rosetta and you’ll never notice the difference. The only issue is that Rosetta is not included by default on the new Apple Silicon Macs. You’ll need to first run any Intel app, or do a get info on any app at all and select “open using Rosetta” then the OS will tell you that you need Rosetta and would you like to install it now. Once you complete that those plugins will run normally. | ||
- | ====Change Log==== | + | ====9.5.2 Change Log:==== |
- | * FIX: solved a problem when loading or saving the preferences window on some machines. | + | |
- | * NEW: The alien address window will now show the device type in the address column so that you know what kind of unit the command was destined for. | + | |
- | * NEW: Clicking the Make Unit button in the Alien Address window will now properly set the device type popup based on the address info. Previously you had to set this manually. Note that it still can’t know if the desired unit was dimmable or not, you still have to set that. | + | |
- | * FIX: NoOp commands were being logged for Vera devices and potentially others even if they were otherwise properly handled. NoOp commands willno longer be logged incorrectly. | + | |
- | * Improvements in the error recovery of the Shared Units system introduced in 9.4.4. If the receiving machine goes away or disables and re-enables the connection it will retry until the connection is up again. There is still work to be done here but we’re approaching an actual release capability for this beta feature. | + | |
- | * NEW: on the Vera interface the display on the Edit Unit window will now properly show the name of the unit as it is in the Vera. The send XTension name to Vera is now enabled also. If you click the button XTension will attempt to rename the unit in the Vera to the same name as in XTension. Keep in mind the limitations for length inside the Vera though. The name may be truncated. | + | |
+ | * NEW: [[supported_hardware: | ||
+ | * NEW: [[supported_hardware: | ||
+ | * NEW: New option in the Preferences dialog to Dont Stop A Restart With " | ||
+ | * NEW: List windows now display the number of Units in the List as well as the number of Units in an error condition or with low battery messages. This is shown in the title of the window after the List name. | ||
+ | * NEW: The [[supported_hardware: | ||
+ | * NEW: The [[supported_hardware: | ||
+ | * NEW: The [[supported_hardware: | ||
+ | * NEW TEMPORARY: I have made some changes to the standard off handling in the Hubitat that fixes some oddness with enumerated commands. I believe this works for all existing devices as well but just in case there is a new checkbox in the hubitat settings that will allow you to drop back to the old handling if it causes you any problems. Please let me know if you have to use this for any reason and the details of that otherwise I will be removing it in the next version unless I hear from people with the need to do this. | ||
+ | * NEW: The [[supported_hardware: | ||
+ | * NEW: Those same Hubitat status messages are now automatically added to a Unit property called “Status Message” and another Unit Property “Status Timestamp” will be the date/time when the current message was received. This way you can trap them in a script, or add a custom column to any List window to show them if you wish rather than just logging them. The above checkbox for logging the status messages does not have to be turned on to send this info to the Unit Properties. This is always done. | ||
+ | * NEW: The [[supported_hardware: | ||
+ | * NEW: Added support for Ramp Rates to the [[supported_hardware: | ||
+ | * NEW: Added several options to the [[supported_hardware: | ||
+ | * NEW: The CPU Usage figures for plugins shown in the Interface List window when “show more information” is selected now includes the CPU usage of any helper apps or sub processes that the plugin might be running. This makes them much more accurate and useful for very CPU intensive plugins such as the Video plugins or the rtlamr or other plugins that use helper apps. | ||
+ | * NEW: The Interface List window also shows a percent of memory use for the plugin instance and any child processes after the CPU Usage number. | ||
+ | * NEW: A new option in the Interface List window lets you chose if the CPU Usage calculation is done based on 100% a single CPU core, or 100% being every CPU available in the machine. So if you have 10 cores and you chose individual then 100% would be using a full core, but per machine that would only be 10% of the overall machine load. Whichever makes more sense to you when viewing it. The numbers are usually very low and so many not show up on the graph at all unless you increase their values by setting it to per CPU. Plugins that are using GPU resources or that are using helper apps may show as using more than 100% if per CPU is selected. This is OK. | ||
+ | * CHANGE: The helper app for the Video system that does the encoding is now a proper background app and so will not show up in the dock as it is running. | ||
+ | * CHANGE: The [[supported_hardware: | ||

+ | * FIX: Added a random pause up to 3 seconds when starting up multiple [[video: | ||
+ | * FIX: An [[video: | ||
+ | * FIX: The [[supported_hardware: | ||
+ | * FIX: Older binary plugins such as the Vera plugin would throw errors when trying to issue some unit specific scripting commands. This was due to the changes in the previous version that allowed the scripts to throw applescript errors if you called a handler that did not exist. The older plugins were not registering their handlers in the same way and so fell afoul of this. They will now let you call any of the handlers without an error. | ||
+ | * FIX: Fixed some problems with the managed folder system that is used by the new video plugins for managing disk space on the recording volume. This will now properly keep the minimum disk space you have set available. If you suspect something is going wrong with this there is an option in the new Debug menu (see below) that will let you log it’s progress and calculations to the log which you can then send to me for debugging. | ||
+ | * FIX: The managed folder system now recovers from having a volume not present at startup, or if a volume is unmounted and then re-attached. It will let you know if the Volume is unavailable and then will begin scanning it again when it re-appears. | ||
+ | * DEBUG: Added a checkbox to the preferences for “show debug menu” this will reveal a debug menu where I have gathered many of the various hidden debugging options in the app for easier access when it is necessary to gather more info for me on a problem. Please do not experiment with these unless I’ve asked you to as they may generate huge amounts of log output or break other things if used incorrectly. | ||
