+ | **Minimum System Version** for this release is OSX 10.10 but not all plugins will function properly prior to 10.13. Please start the necessary work to upgrade to at least 10.13 or recommended 10.15 or newer. At some point in the near future it will no longer be possible for me to support anything prior to 10.13 and the video plugins will never work prior to Catalina. | ||

- | * NEW: wiki artivle discussing the excellent [[supported_modules: | + | |
- | * NEW: Vera UI7 new [[dictionary: | + | |
- | * NEW: Vera UI7 support for the new [[supported_modules: | + | |
- | * FIX: Vera UI7 now properly recognizes door and motion sensors and will create units for them in XTension without you having to wait for an event to happen on them. | + | |
- | * FIX: unrecognized security devices should now automatically create a unit for their tripped state once the first change for that unit is received. Previously we were suppressing those incorrectly. This means that I don’t have to manually add every single potential type of security unit but ones I haven’t manually added will not create a unit at startup, | + | |
- | * FIX: Fixed a problem with the web remote not processing the correct “state” advanced label syntax based on the value of a unit. Basically it was always treating a unit as if it were not-dimmable so you would only ever get the off state and the first on state. Now it will probably parse that state list and give you the correct label. | + | |
- | * FIX: A regression in a previous build caused the RFXt driver to launch the wrong actual plugin. Thats now fixed and the RFXt will work normally again. | + | |
- | * FIX: The “show properties” button in the toolbar of the edit unit window once again shows the properties window for the unit rather than opening up an empty window and logging an error. | + | |
- | * FIX: Vera UI7 now properly displays updates for remote changes of thermostat mode and fan mode changes. Previously it failed to receive these and the mode would only update if you changed it from XTension. | + | |
- | * FIX: Vera UI7 I was using the wrong state variable for the energy savings mode, it should now update properly when the mode is changed locally at the thermostat or through other vera interfaces. | + | |
- | * FIX: If you’re editing a script | + | |
- | * NEW: Web Remote and Mobile Web Remote both display the color temperature as a degrees k value like the built in control in XTension. | + | |
- | * NEW: Web Remote and Mobile Web Remote when controlling a color or color temperature unit now will show the current state of the color or temperature in a box in the upper right of the detailed unit controls just like the desktop control did. Clicking on that control will bring up a small window where you can physically type in a color’s RGB value or a color temperatures degree k value and send it specifically | + | |
- | * NEW: You can now save a preset from the mobile web remote. The previously was impossible because you could not generate a control-click to bring up the contextual menu on an iPhone. There is now a “save preset” button that brings up a list of the current presets for you to select from into which it will then save the current state of the bulb, color temperature | + | |
- | * NEW: plugins can now execute script handlers inside either it’s interface script or inside | + | |
- | * NEW: plugins can now define script handlers and insert them into the “insert” menu when editing either the units ON script or the interface script so you don’t even have to go read the wiki to know what information it can send you. | + | |
- | * NEW: Via that mechanism the new Vera UI7 plugin adds the “on central scene” handler | + | |
- | * NEW: a plugin may save to a unit a “default” label that describes | + | |
- | * FIX: using the “install plugin” menu item to install a different version of a plugin that ships inside of XTension no longer tries to remove the one that is in the application. It just puts the new one inside the plugin folder in your database where it will override the shipped version. | + | |
- | * FIX: fixed an error condition with the Shared Database sender that could have it spinning at 100% of a CPU during certain error states while it retried to connect with no delay between attempts. | + | |
- | * NEW: Vera UI7 added another script command for Update Neighbors. If a device is not responding or not reliably responding to commands | + | |
- | * FIX: after installing a plugin via the “install | + | |
- | * NEW: the install plugin now internally works the same as the new [[dictionary: | + | |
+ | ====9.5.2 Change Log:==== | ||
- | Note: 6:30am 7/14/18 I am still plagued by the occasional version control snafu from our switch | + | * NEW: [[supported_hardware:sysinfo|Sysinfo Plugin]] for monitoring Disk space, Disk Usage, Network Usage and Networking Errors. |
+ | * NEW: [[supported_hardware: | ||
+ | * NEW: New option in the Preferences dialog | ||
+ | * NEW: List windows now display the number | ||
+ | * 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. | ||

+ | * 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. | ||
