**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. | **Minimum System Version** for this release is OSX 10.10 but not all plugins will function properly prior to 10.13.

**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. | **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.

+ | ====9.5.3 Change Log:==== | ||
- | ====9.5.1 Change Log:==== | + | * **Amcrest Camera API:** |
- | + | * Fixed an issue that caused some cameras not to work with the event system. If you find that any cameras still do not send you events but also dont log any other communication or connection errors please let me know we can gather some more info. | |
- | | + | * Added a check to the enableEvents() command so that it will not try to enable events that the plugin does not recognize as valid. This keeps you from either getting nothing, or getting an error message each time the unknown events is sent. If there are events that I am not handling that you know about and would like to get please let me know we can gather more info about them and set them up. |
- | * NEW: [[supported_hardware: | + | * Added support for specific Units to link to Object Detection if your camera supports it. You can now create a Unit to get an ON when a human is detected, or when a vehical is detected and so forth. |
- | * NEW: [[supported_hardware: | + | * Amcrest API New Status and Display commands: |
- | * NEW: [[supported_hardware:nohassle8|Plugin | + | * setFontScale(0.1..2.0) control the size of the text displayed over the image. |
- | * NEW: [[supported_hardware: | + | * setChannelTitleVisible( true|false) |
- | * NEW: If there are important messages generated during startup they will also display | + | * setChannelTitleLocation( 34, 12) |
- | * NEW: During database load any collisions | + | * setChannelTitleColor( R, G, B, A) |
- | * NEW: The [[: | + | * setChannelTitleBackColor( R, G, B, A) |
- | * NEW: [[:video|new Video system]] now will display any events | + | * setUserDisplayVisible( index, true|false) |
- | * NEW: In the Video Encoder | + | * setUserDisplayText( index, “the info to display”) |
- | * NEW: If you’re using the “live recording” option that doesn’t use the Video Encoder separate process the above event is sent to the video plugin’s interface | + | * setUserDisplayLocation( index, xloc, yloc) |
- | * NEW: The [[supported_hardware:hubitat|hubitat plugin]] now supports getting | + | * setUserDisplayColor( R, G, B, A) |
- | * NEW: Added a “SendRaw” handler to the [[supported_hardware:arduino|Arduino plugin]] so that in addition | + | * setUserDisplayBackColor( R, G, B, A) |
- | * FIX: Units added later to a list shared via home kit will no longer | + | * setLogoVisible( true|false) hide or show the Amcrest logo image overlay |
- | * FIX: If you have units that are already suffering from the above problem there are [[supported_hardware:homekit|new script functions]] you can use to find and correct the errors. | + | * setLogoLocation( xLoc, yLoc) |
- | * FIX: Fixed an issue that would cause a slight increase in CPU usage in the MJPEG Camera | + | * setLogoFilename( “osd.bmp”) your camera must support allowing you to change this or it will do nothing. |
- | * FIX: Fixed an issue with the Amcrest Camera API plugin | + | * setTimeDisplayVisible( true|false) |
- | * FIX: Improved the syncing | + | * setTimeDisplayLocation( xLoc, yLoc) |
- | * FIX: The available ram that is logged when XTension is starting up was calculating incorrectly displaying what looked like just a few meg rather than the correct value. It is not logged properly | + | * setTimeDisplayColor( R, G, B, A) |
- | * CHANGE: Calling plugin registered scripting handlers will now generate an error in the script if you call one that does not exist or misspell it or something similar. Previously such errors were lost silently. | + | * setTimeDisplayBackColor( R, G, B, A) |
- | * FIX: When doing the “log debug data” for a unit the thisUnit value is set properly letting | + | * setTimeDisplayFormat( “yyyy-M-dd hh:mm:ss t”) see the wiki link above for a table of valid format string entities. |
- | * FIX: Fixed an issue loading | + | * note that there is a limit to the number of overlays the camera can “blend” into the encoding video. Check the capabilities below to find out what the limit is for your camera. They may all be different. My doorbell cam can only do 2 at once. |
- | * CHANGE: When setting | + | * changed the logEvents() command to be showEvents() |
- | * FIX: Fixed a typo in the debug logging in the Phillips Hue plugin that caused a second error while trying | + | * changed logMotionRegions() showMotionRegions() which also shows the list in a separate |
- | * CHANGE: if you select | + | * showCapabilities() opens a window with most, but not all, of the capabilities of the camera listed. There are still some more to add |
- | * FIX: The camera API plugins are now python compiled before adding | + | * There are a LOT of other things I can add to this plugin that could be controlled. If you know of something else you’d like to be able to tweak in the cameras programmatically please let me know. |
- | + | * **Last Activity:** A change to the Last Activity date handling. Previously if a Unit had never had any activity after being created it would show a last activity date of the time the program was last started. This caused confusion | |
+ | * **Home Kit:** | ||
+ | * Updated | ||
+ | * **Hue Plugin:** | ||
+ | * Hue Plugin: Fixed an issue where it could send continual updates for a sensor value even if the value had not changed. | ||
+ | * Hue Plugin: Fixed an issue where the temperature format was not saved, sticking all readings in F. | ||
+ | * **Video System:** | ||
+ | * Video Encoder Plugin: Added a checkbox so you can suppress logging of video encoding times if you wish. | ||
+ | * Video: Removed error logging for stalled streams | ||
+ | * **Sysinfo Plugin:** | ||
+ | * System Info Plugin: no longer claims in it’s startup log message to be the Disk Space plugin. | ||
+ | * Fixed an incorrect default link to the boot volume so that this will work without having to edit it each time. | ||
+ | * **Internal Python:** | ||
+ | * Python: A symlink | ||
+ | * Python: XTension changes many environment variables in order to use it’s internal version of python. If you are running a system version of python in your own script | ||
+ | * **Web Remote:** | ||
+ | * Web Remote: New documentation of the hashing | ||
+ | * Web Remote: Added several new scripting commands | ||
+ | * Web Remote: Added support for a resource folder that will be served as regular files through the web remote built in web server. This way if custom controls or other features | ||
+ | * Note that these changes have not been rolled into the mobile web remote | ||
+ | * **Plugin API:** | ||
+ | * A new key for the info.json file that will allow a plugin to receive any scripting command the user issues. This simplifies some kinds of plugin tasks at the expense | ||
+ | * Added the capability for plugins to display information in new text windows and to append to or change the display of one without opening a new window each time. This mostly affects plugin developers but I used it in the new and changed show info commands in the Amcrest API plugin above. | ||
+ | * All plugins | ||
+ | * **Hubitat Plugin:** | ||
+ | * Hubitat: Added entries to the “insert” toolbar menu for the central scene Held, and Released events to make it easier to script these without having to visit the wiki to look up the specifics. | ||
+ | * Hubitat: Added support for Energy and Usage units. If a device reports these values a Unit will be created for them. | ||
+ | * More updates and changes to the new handling of “string” data types.If there is a number at the beginning | ||
+ | * Hubitat: Some devices from the Hubitat will now have more descriptive, | ||
+ | * Hubitat: The list of supported commands for each Unit is now saved to a [[dictionary: | ||
+ | * Hubitat: Push messages | ||
+ | * **Scripting Dictionary: | ||
+ | * NEW: the [[dictionary: | ||
+ | * NEW: The [[dictionary: | ||
+ | * **Xtension UI:** | ||
+ | * New: Each unit will get a new Unit Property called Created with the date the unit was created. You can add this to any List view by control clicking in the headers | ||
