DustyArmstrong/homeassistant-desktop 1.6.2

on GitHub

A new release targeting some of the submitted issues, and a bug fix.

Features

Auto-reconnect

The primary feature addition this time round is an auto-reconnect function. The function is optional - existing users will need to enable it manually, for new installs it is default-on. Following loss of connectivity on your instance, the app will now initially try to reconnect by itself, which should cover most cases under normal circumstances (instance reboots etc).

Addresses #4 and #6

DPI Scaling/4K Monitors

Two additional binaries are included in this release:

• Home Assistant Desktop-v1.6.2-win-x64-DPI+SCALING
• Home Assistant Desktop-v1.6.2-win-x64-DPI-ONLY

These are intended to address #5. Included in these builds are command line switches that enable high DPI support and prevent the app from scaling with Windows. These have been tested on a 4K display and appear to have the desired effect with the app no longer crashing (sample size: 1). I have opted not to include these switches in the base release as I am unsure what overall impact it would have on stability and user experience on <4K displays (and possibly break someone's existing UI preferences) - feedback is welcome however and can be accounted for in a future release.

Bug Fixes

• Update check now uses proper semantic version checking

App and new functionality have been tested on Windows x64 and Mac x64.
