This is a beta of the next release. I have been testing it myself for a couple of days, and I'd appreciate more testing before I make it an official release. Thanks for your help.

A revision of the translations is welcome. I made some changes to the config, so I had to edit the translations. It is kind of hard for the languages I do not understand.

Breaking change

  • Removal of the obsolete parameters (see documentation - also shows as errors in the log file after the first start, if you still use them). This is for offset, include/exclude dates, and Public Holidays - that are now replaced by Blueprints.

Changes

  • Major simplification of the configuration. It is now (always) in two steps - in the first one you select the frequency and parameters that are always the same. In the second step, the parameters depending on the frequency. I think I made the GUI crisper and cleaner.
  • For the parameters requiring a list of values, I no longer require a comma separated list, but provide a checkbox-style list. I hope you'll appreciate it.
  • Automatic migration of the configuration parameters (possible thanks to the move from YAML to Config Flow). Much simpler and more reliable (hopefully).
  • Major simplification of the configuration code (thanks to depreciation of the parameters, and YAML config).
  • Registering it properly as a device
  • Added DOWNLOAD DISGNOSTICS to the device page. This gives a nice overview of all configuration parameters and simplifies bug reporting. Please use it when reporting a bug.
