Auto-updates now install through the Homebridge UI rather than writing to the plugin path directly. On hb-service and Docker setups the old method could install an update to the wrong place, leaving the plugin reporting the same update forever — and in the worst case restarting Homebridge in a loop. If you disabled auto-update to work around that, this release is the one to re-enable it on.
Also new:
- An option to auto-update only minor and patch versions, leaving majors for you to install by hand (#263)
- Homebridge UI beta updates are detected when your UI update policy is set to beta (#255)
- Docker image updates are checked properly when running under the official Homebridge Docker image (#264)
And fixed: renaming a sensor in the config now reaches HomeKit (#251), and the carbon dioxide sensor registers correctly over Matter (#256).
