8.16.0

8.16.0 (2024.09.29)

This release updates several python packages that require Python >= 3.8. You can check your Python version prior to upgrading. If you do not have the required version, you should not upgrade, since this will likely break your system. To be able to use this and future Mycodo releases, ensure you are running an updated operating system that supports a modern Python version.

This release changes the Desktop grid width from 20 to 24, enabling the use of 3 column layouts that are evenly-spaced. You will need to resize/rearrange Dashboard Widgets after this update to correct for the new width. The update of Gridstack to 10.0.1 also now allows the ability to drag Desktop widgets on mobile devices. If you don't like this behavior, you should lock the desktop from the Dashboard Configuration menu to prevent widgets from being dragged/rearranged.

This release changes the install directory from ~/Mycodo to /opt/Mycodo. This necessitates deleting and regenerating the Python virtual environment. If you have any custom changes to the Mycodo venv, you will need to make those changes again after the upgrade. As a result of moving the install directory, following the upgrade, you will need to either run "sudo service mycodoflask restart" in a terminal or reboot your system for the web interface to become accessible again.

8.15.7

8.15.7 (2023-03-02)

This update fixes a few bugs and adds the new Input Equation Action, which can apply an equation to an Input measurements prior to being stored in the database. For instance, if you wanted to apply an offset of +10 to a particular measurement of an Input, you could use the equation "x+10".

In order for this new Action to be able to be created, there had to be a refactoring of the trigger_action() API function and run_action() Action module function.

All references your code previously made to:

trigger_action(action_id, value=None, message='', debug=False)

Will need to be changed to:

trigger_action(action_id, value=None, debug=False)

Additionally, custom Action modules previously with the Class function:

run_action(self, message, dict_vars)

Will need to be changed to:

run_action(self, dict_vars)

Since dict_vars will be a dictionary that contains the key "message". Any messages added in run_action() will need to be appended to dict_vars['message']. Additionally, dict_vars will need to be returned by run_action() rather than the variable messages.

Again, if you use any custom Actions, it is imperative that you make this second update to your modules for them to be able to properly work when upgrading to or beyond v8.15.7.
