   * NEW: Groups can now be defined as Dimmable. Dimmable groups also have a checkbox for supporting color and color temperature settings. If any of those checkboxes are set then the detailed unit controls for the group will contain the appropriate controls for that data. The dim level as well as any color or color temperature data that you set when controlling the group will be sent to all the Units included in the group. Very useful for setting up fixtures with multiple bulbs in them, or for controlling all the dimmable or color capable devices in a room.   * NEW: Groups can now be defined as Dimmable.

   * NEW: Dark Sky weather data plugin. Not a replacement for the excellent Weatherman app, but I know some of us are having lots of problems with AppleScripting external apps in the latest OS versions and we need another way to get weather data that doesn’t require that to be working. Gets you access to all the Dark Sky forecast data as well as creating some really nice reports. See the [[supported_hardware:darksky|Dark Sky Plugin]] page.   * NEW: Dark Sky weather data plugin.

 +  * NEW RFX plugin. At this moment the plugin supports only the original “RFXe” and Serially connected RFX devices. The original RFXe and RFX plugins will be going away in a future build and will never run on Catalina so please test the conversion and report any problems to me. Ton convert your existing RFX or RFXe interface first disable the interface, edit the interface and change the device type popup from either “RFX Ethernet Transceiver” or “RFX Serial Transceiver” to “RFXComm Transceivers” make sure to select “Legacy” as the protocol type below and then re-enable the interface. At this moment transmission is not supported. Please do not convert if you are using one of the other RFX interfaces or need the transmission features of the devices. More support for the newer devices as well as transmission is coming in a future version. Note that the plugin starts up in debug mode. To stop all the extra logging control click on the entry in the Interface list window and select “turnon debug mode” and then again and select “turnoff debug mode” This will be unset in the next build.
   * NEW: Added the “handler” parameter to the [[dictionary:events:createevent|Create Event]] verb. You can now use that to create a scheduled event to run a specific handler inside a global script. This has always worked for the [[dictionary:events:executescript|execute script]] verb but was never rolled into the create event verb.   * NEW: Added the “handler” parameter to the [[dictionary:events:createevent|Create Event]] verb.

   * NEW: A new Arduino interface is included in this build. The older one will not be converted to 64 bit so you must convert at some point before the next major release as I will be removing the old plugin at that time. The conversion is just editing your existing Arduino interface and selecting the New Arduino interface from the popup, saving and re-enabling the interface. If you experience any problems with the conversion please let me know.   * NEW: A new Arduino interface is included in this build.
