# Changelog

All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.
Given the high speed of development in the first phase, changes are being reported only starting from v0.20.2.

## [Unreleased]

### Added

- Added `switchbot` plugin to interact with Switchbot devices over the cloud API instead of
  directly accessing the device's Bluetooth interface.
  
- Added `marshmallow` dependency - it will be used from now own to dump and document schemas
  and responses instead of the currently mixed approach with `Response` objects and plain
  dictionaries and lists.
  
- Support for custom MQTT timeout on all the `zwavejs2mqtt` calls.

- Added generic joystick backend `backend.joystick.jstest` which uses `jstest` from the
  standard `joystick` system package to read the state of joysticks not compatible with
  `python-inputs`.
  
- Added PWM PCA9685 plugin.

- Added Linux native joystick plugin, ``backend.joystick.linux``, for the cases where
  ``python-inputs`` doesn't work and ``jstest`` is too slow.

### Changed

- `switch.switchbot` plugin renamed to `switchbot.bluetooth` plugin, while the new plugin
  that uses the Switchbot API is simply named `switchbot`.

## [0.21.0] - 2021-05-06

### Added

- Support for custom PopcornTime API mirror/base URL.

- Full support for TV series search.

### Fixed

- Fixed torrent search (now using a different PopcornTime API mirror).

- Migrated SASS engine from `node-sass` (currently deprecated and broken on Node 16) to `sass`.

- Fixed alignment of Z-Wave UI header on Chrome/Webkit.

### Fixed

- Fixed zwave/zwavejs2mqtt interoperability.

## [0.20.9] - 2021-04-12

### Added

- Added zwavejs2mqtt integration (see [#186](https://git.platypush.tech/platypush/platypush/-/issues/186).

### Fixed

## [0.20.8] - 2021-04-04

### Added

- Added `<Camera>` dashboard widget.

- Added support for custom dashboard widgets with customized (see https://git.platypush.tech/platypush/platypush/-/wikis/Backends#creating-custom-widgets).

- Added support for controls on `music.mpd` dashboard widget.

### Fixed

- Fixed zigbee2mqtt backend error in case of messages with empty payload (see [#184](https://git.platypush.tech/platypush/platypush/-/issues/184)).

- Fixed compatibility with all versions of websocket-client - versions >= 0.58.0 pass a `WebSocketApp` object as a first
  argument to the callbacks, as well as versions < 0.54.0 do, but the versions in between don't pass this argument.

## [0.20.7] - 2021-03-26

### Fixed

- Fixed race condition on `media.vlc.stop` when clearing the VLC instance.

- Fixed dashboard widgets custom classes being propagated both to the container and to the widget content [see #179]

- Fixed compatibility with SQLAlchemy >= 1.4.

## [0.20.6] - 2021-03-16

### Added

- Added `log.http` backend to monitor changes to HTTP log files
  (see [#167](https://git.platypush.tech/platypush/platypush/-/issues/167)).

- Added `file.monitor` backend, which replaces the `inotify` backend
  (see [#172](https://git.platypush.tech/platypush/platypush/-/issues/172)).

### Removed

- Removed legacy `pusher` script and `local` backend.

### Fixed

- Fixed support for Z-Wave switches.

- Fixed possible race condition on VLC stop.

## [0.20.5] - 2021-03-12

### Added

- Added support for a static list of devices to actively scan to the `bluetooth.scanner` backend
  (see [#174](https://git.platypush.tech/platypush/platypush/-/issues/174)).
  
- Added `weather.openweathermap` plugin and backend, which replaces `weather.darksky`, since the
  Darksky API will be completely shut down by the end of 2021.

### Fixed

- Cron expressions should adhere to the UNIX cronjob standard and use the machine local time,
  not UTC, as a reference (closes [#173](https://git.platypush.tech/platypush/platypush/-/issues/173)).
  
- Better management of Z-Wave values types from the UI.

- Disable logging for `ZwaveValueEvent` events - they tend to be very verbose and
  can impact the performance on slower devices. They will still be published to the
  websocket clients though, so you can still debug Z-Wave values issues from the browser
  developer console (enable debug traces).
  
- Added suffix to the `zigbee.mqtt` backend default `client_id` to prevent clashes with
  the default `mqtt` backend `client_id`.

## [0.20.4] - 2021-03-08

### Added

- Added SmartThings integration.
- Support for custom Redis message queue name over the `--redis-queue` argument.

### Fixed

- Refactored tests to use `pytest` instead of `unittest`.
- Some major bug fixes on procedures and hooks context evaluation.

## [0.20.3] - 2021-02-28

### Fixed

- Several bug fixes on the VLC plugin, including proper management of stop/end-of-stream, volume set and missing integration requirements in `requirements.txt` and `setup.py`.

## [0.20.2] - 2021-02-27

### Fixed

- More stable ZeroConf backends registration logic in case of partial or missing results.
- Improved and refactored integration tests.

### Added

- Support for passing context variables (${}) from YAML procedures/hooks/crons to Python procedure/hooks/crons.
- New integration test for testing procedures.
