- | 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.\\ | + | |

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. | ||

- | ====9.4.45 Change Log:==== | + | ====9.5.2 Change Log:==== |
- | * 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 that they need. As of this moment Apple has not threatened to stop supporting those so there should be no impact from that and it only applies to a few of the more legacy plugins. | + | |
- | * NEW: The embedded python version is updated to 3.10. | + | |
- | * NEW: Added a “Clear All Script Errors” to the contextual and toolbar menus of the Global Scripts window. | + | |
- | * NEW: Added new [[supported_hardware: | + | |
- | * NEW: Added a very alpha version of a new [[supported_hardware: | + | |
- | * NEW: The Manage Global Scripts window will now display the number of scripts with errors in the title of the window. Folders that have scripts that have errors in them will also display the number of scripts with errors in their listbox line along with the number of scripts that are in the folders. | + | |
- | * NEW: Added a “do not log” option to global scripts just like Units can have set. This way the scripts will not log that they are being run reducing log spam for scripts that are run a lot. Any log lines that you generate or errors that happen while the script is running will still log as normal. This is available in the contextual menu and the toolbar menu in the Manage Global Scripts window. | + | |
- | * UPDATE: The Apple Home Kit plugin has been updated to a version of the HAP libraries that support more recent Python versions. As of this build this doesn’t add any new functionality as I am just looking to verify that the old functionality still works. Once that is settled there is a lot more I can do with this version in future builds. | + | |
- | * UPDATE: The [[supported_hardware: | + | |
- | * FIX: The Kasa/ | + | |
- | * UPDATE: The Server Events plugin now runs with the embedded python3.10 version rather than the ancient system version. | + | |
- | * 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 version that us much older. | + | |
- | * DOCUMENTATION: | + | |
- | * CHANGE: In the Edit Unit Dialog the XTdb history display will format numbers with more decimal points by default for better display of very small values. | + | |
- | * FIX: [[dictionary: | + | |
- | * 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. | + | |
- | * NEW: Genmon plugin now creates several more units that previously so that you can more easily catch an exercise event as opposed to actually running and providing power without having to watch the label of the main Status unit which is mostly for Display now as there are other ways to catch the actual information. These new units are as below: | + | |
- | * Error: Engine Speed High or Low | + | |
- | * Error: Governor failure | + | |
- | * Error: Low Oil | + | |
- | * Error: Overcrank | + | |
- | * Error: Overheat | + | |
- | * Error: Overload | + | |
- | * Error: RPM Sensor | + | |
- | * Error: Voltage High or Low | + | |
- | * Error: Warning (generator is sending a warning that is not yet an error or alarm condition) | + | |
- | * Generator Is In Alarm | + | |
- | * Generator Is Running | + | |
- | * Generator Is Ready | + | |
- | * Generator Is Exercising | + | |
- | * Generator Is Ready | + | |
- | * Generator Service Is Due | + | |
- | * NOTE: The MQTT Broker plugin no longer functions with this version due to problems with the underlying libraries and python3. I am working on an MQTT broker plugin that can connect to the free mosquito server that should serve most of the functions of the original plugin and then some. This will appear in a future version. | + | |
- | * Phillips [[supported_hardware: | + | |
- | * [[supported_hardware: | + | |
- | * 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. | + | |

+ | * 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 | ||
+ | * 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 | ||

+ | * 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 | ||
+ | * 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. | ||
