Many + were already deprecated a while ago, but the change now applies to all of + them. Backends should only be components that actively listen for application + messages to process, not generic daemon threads for integrations. This had + been a source of confusion for a long time. Backends and plugins are now + merged, meaning that you won't need to configure two different sections + instead of one for many integrations (one for the stateless plugin, and one + for the background state listener). Please check the + [documentation](https://docs.platypush.tech) to verify the configuration + changes required by your integrations. This has been a long process that has + involved the rewrite of most of the integrations, and many bugs have been + fixed. + +- Improved Docker support - now with a default `docker-compose.yml`, multiple + Dockerfiles for + [Alpine](https://git.platypush.tech/platypush/platypush/src/branch/master/platypush/install/docker/alpine.Dockerfile), + [Debian](https://git.platypush.tech/platypush/platypush/src/branch/master/platypush/install/docker/debian.Dockerfile), + [Ubuntu](https://git.platypush.tech/platypush/platypush/src/branch/master/platypush/install/docker/ubuntu.Dockerfile) + and + [Fedora](https://git.platypush.tech/platypush/platypush/src/branch/master/platypush/install/docker/fedora.Dockerfile) + base images. Many improvements on the `platydock` and `platyvenv` scripts + too, with better automated installation processes for optional dependencies. + +- Added [official + packages](https://git.platypush.tech/platypush/platypush#system-package-manager-installation) + for + [Debian](https://git.platypush.tech/platypush/platypush#debian-ubuntu) + and [Fedora](https://git.platypush.tech/platypush/platypush#fedora). + +- Added `--device-id`, `--workdir`, `--logsdir`, `--cachedir`, `--main-db`, + `--redis-host`, `--redis-port` and `--redis-queue` CLI arguments, along the + `PLATYPUSH_DEVICE_ID`, `PLATYPUSH_WORKDIR`, `PLATYPUSH_LOGSDIR`, + `PLATYPUSH_CACHEDIR`, `PLATYPUSH_DB`, `PLATYPUSH_REDIS_HOST`, + `PLATYPUSH_REDIS_PORT` and `PLATYPUSH_REDIS_QUEUE` environment variables. + +- Added an _Extensions_ panel to the UI to dynamically: + - Install new dependencies directly from the Web view. + - Explore the documentation as well as the supported actions and events for + each plugin. + - Get ready-to-paste configuration snippets/templates. + +- New, completely rewritten [documentation](https://docs.platypush.tech), which + now integrates the wiki, dynamically includes plugins configuration snippets + and dependencies, and adds a global filter bar for the integrations. + +- [[#394](https://git.platypush.tech/platypush/platypush/issues/394)] A more + intuitive way of installing extra dependencies via `pip`. Instead of a static + list that the user should check inside of `setup.py`, the syntax `pip install + 'platypush[plugin1,plugin2,...]'` is now supported. + +- No more need to manually create `__init__.py` in each of the `scripts` + folders that you want to use to store your custom scripts. Automatic + discovery of scripts and creation of module files has been implemented. You + can now just drop a `.py` script with your procedures, hooks or crons in the + scripts folder and it should be picked up by the application. + +- The _Execute_ Web panel now supports procedures too, as well as curl snippets. + +- Removed all `Response` objects outside of the root type. They are now all + replaced by Marshmallow schemas with the structure automatically generated in + the documentation. + +- [`alarm`] [[#340](https://git.platypush.tech/platypush/platypush/issues/340)] + Rewritten integration. It now includes a powerful UI panel to set up alarms + with custom procedures too. + +- [`assistant.picovoice`] + [[#304](https://git.platypush.tech/platypush/platypush/issues/304)] New + all-in-one Picovoice integration that replaces the previous `stt.picovoice.*` + integrations. + +- [`youtube`] + [[#337](https://git.platypush.tech/platypush/platypush/issues/337)] Full + rewrite of the plugin. It now supports Piped instances instead of the + official YouTube API. A new UI has also been designed to explore + subscriptions, playlists and channels. + +- [`weather.*`] + [[#308](https://git.platypush.tech/platypush/platypush/issues/308)] Removed + the `weather.darksky` integration (it's now owned by Apple and the API is + basically dead) and enhanced the `weather.openweathermap` plugin instead. + +- [`camera.pi*`] The old `camera.pi` integration based on the deprecated + `picamera` module has been moved to `camera.pi.legacy`. `camera.pi` is now a + new plugin which uses the new `picamera2` API (and it's so far only + compatible with recent versions on the Raspberry Pi OS). + +- Dynamically auto-generate plugins documentation in the UI from the RST + docstrings. + +- New design for the configuration panel. + +- Better synchronization between processes on threads on application stop - + greatly reduced the risk of hanging processes on shutdown. + +- Migrated all CI/CD pipelines to [Drone + CI](https://ci-cd.platypush.tech/platypush/platypush). + +- Removed `google.fit` integration, as Google has deprecated the API. + +- Removed `wiimote` integration: the `cwiid` library hasn't been updated in + years, it doesn't even work well with Python 3, and I'm not in the mood of + bringing it back from the dead. + +- Removed `stt.deepspeech` integration. That project has been basically + abandoned by Mozilla, the libraries are very buggy and I don't think it's + going to see new developments any time soon. + +- [[#297](https://git.platypush.tech/platypush/platypush/issues/297)] Removed + `spotify` backend integration based on Librespot. The project has gone + through a lot of changes, and I no longer have a Spotify premium account to + work on a new implementation. Open to contributions if somebody still wants + it. ## [0.50.3] - 2023-07-22
