This release features some more bugfixes and some breaking config changes
New UI
If you haven't seen it already, check out the previous release notes.
MQTT changes
Config Schema
This release features a much cleaner mqtt configuration schema. Now, one can actually understand what the options are for.
Since this a breaking change, Valetudo will likely reject your old config file and create a new one.
Don't worry though. The old one is backed up meaning that you can simply copy-paste your timers, presets etc.
Just check the Log for more information.
Identifier
Valetudo will now use the autogenerated machine identifier as the mqtt identifier and friendly name.
If you've been using the defaults until now, you'll either want to manually configure the identifier or update your scripts, delete your Vacuum Device in Home Assistant etc.
The autogenerated unique machine identifier can be found in the Log.
It will sorta look like this: ModestFewChinchilla
Home Assistant Map Data
The Map data camera image has been replaced with a nicer looking one that will also hopefully lead to less confusion for newcomers.
It looks like this:
Out-of-Memory Issues
The out of memory issues causing Valetudo to shut down have been fixed again even though that they were already fixed.
For some reason, npm started installing the old and unpatched dependency. Probably some weirdness regarding the package-lock.json or something like that.
This has been solved by reimplementing what the dependency did in Valetudo itself. Fortunately, this allowed us to add logging to that.
If you're seeing something like [WARN] Stale SSE connection to the Map SSE Hub detected. Terminating. in your log, the mitigation is working.
Updated Robot Docs
I've added some notes for each implementation to the Supported Robots Page to make it easier for people to choose a robot to buy.
