Version 1.8.0

This release has significant updates. Please review the README for full documentation of the new features.

What's Changed

• New feature... add soft AP mode to allow setting WiFi SSID (#224).
• New feature... enable IRAM heap to increase available memory, expected to improve reliability.
• New feature... move all user config settings into single file, improves boot time by ~13 seconds (#241).
• New feature... add support for logging to a syslog server.
• Change... Reboot countdown timer changed from 30 seconds to 15 seconds
• Change... Remove option to receive server logs to JavaScript console, replaced by syslog and system logs page.
• Bugfix... ensure that network hostname is RFC952 compliant (e.g. no spaces).
• Bugfix... Possible fix to #215 by modifying HomeKit server malloc() from local to global.
• Bugfix... Possible fix to #211 and #223 as we enable IRAM heap.
• Bugfix... Occasional HomeKit notification that garage door is unlocked. Tracked in #233

Known Issues

• Occasional failure to connect to WiFi. Tracked in #217

Full Changelog: v1.7.1...v1.8.0

v1.7.1

What's Changed

• Next release by @dkerr64 in #227
• Bugfix... alignment of minHeap and minStack was wrong on chrome browsers.
• Bugfix... set WiFi hostname based on user provided device name (#231).
• Bugfix... also set the browser page title to the user provided device name.
• Buffix... authenticate before issuing "are you sure" popups (#235)
• New feature... allow user to set custom username for the webpage (#225).
• New feature... allow user to set static IP address (#231).
• New feature... add new system logs page (opens in new browser tab).
• New feature... add spinning page-loading icon to provide feedback on slow network links.
• New feature... add option to obtain real time from NTP sever.
• Cleanup... consolidated all code for retrieving user configured settings into one file (utilities.cpp).

Known Issues

• Same as v1.7.0...
• Random crashes inside the MDNSresponder code which usually occur shortly after booting or when something significant changes on the network that causes a storm of mDNS messages. Ratgdo always recovers. Tracked in #211, #223
• Random crashes inside the WiFi stack possibly associated with failing to connect to WiFi access point. Tracked in #215, #218, #223
• Occasional failure to connect to WiFi. Tracked in #217

Full Changelog: v1.7.0...v1.7.1

v1.7.0

What's Changed

• Release by @dkerr64 in #220
• Removed the heap fragmentation tracking introduced in v1.6.1... it was occasionally crashing inside Arduino library.
• Bugfix... device reboot countdown timer from 30 seconds to zero was not always displaying.
• New feature... add reset door button. This resets the Sec+ 2.0 rolling code and whether the door has a motion sensor or not.
• New feature... add option to trigger motion sensor on user pressing wall panel buttons (door open/close, light and/or lock).
• New feature... add option to trigger motion sensor on door obstruction.
• New feature... add option for user to select whether the LED light remains on while device is idle or turns off. Any activity causes the LED to flash.

Known Issues

• Random crashes inside the MDNSresponder code which usually occur shortly after booting or when something significant changes on the network that causes a strom of mDNS messages. Ratgdo always recovers. Tracked in #211, #223
• Random crashes inside the WiFi stack possibly associated with failing to connect to WiFi access point. Tracked in #215, #218, #223
• Occasional failure to connect to WiFi. Tracked in #217

Full Changelog: v1.6.1...v1.7.0

v1.6.1

What's Changed

• Fixes to SEC1.0 when no DIGITAL wall panel connected by @mitchjs in #208
• Improve memory heap usage tracking and logging to assist with future debugging
• Cleaned up numerous compiler warnings

The only functional change in this release is to better support Sec+ 1.0 garage door openers when there is no digital wall panel. Upgrading is therefore optional if your GDO is Sec+ 2.0.

Full Changelog: v1.6.0...v1.6.1

v1.6.0

What's Changed

• Documentation updates and test HomeKit server running by @dkerr64 in #197
• Fix a bug in HomeKit library was not not always correctly updating characteristics by @jgstroud in #204 Thanks @hjdhjd for pointing me in the right direction
• Get status on boot by @jgstroud in #205
• Make obstruction detection ignore spurrious detections by @jgstroud in #206

Full Changelog: v1.5.0...v1.6.0

v1.5.0

What's Changed

• Firmware verification working branch by @dkerr64 in #193

Fixes several critical bugs. Recommended for all users to upgrade. @dak64 identified some storage issues in the homekit library and corrected them. This should address #194 #189 #184

NOTE: You will need to re-pair with HomeKit after installing this update.
The most reliable way to do this is 1) erase from Apple Home, 2) reset/re-pair button on ratgdo, 3) kill Apple Home and restart it and 4) scan the QR code.

Full Changelog: v1.4.4...v1.5.0

v1.4.4

What's Changed

• Fixes / features for next release. by @dkerr64 and @jgstroud in #191
• Remove old redundant code
• Save logs on clean shutdown
• Check flash CRC on upload complete
• Add a full flash verify on upload to make sure contents are written properly to flash
• Change wifi persist to false. was writing wifi settings to flash multiple times on each boot. known to cause issues. #192

Lots of changes mainly focuses on trying to prevent flash corruptions.
