What changed / Was hat sich geändert

Fixed

• An existing entry could not finish setting itself up, and the message blamed the account — #1947 · thanks @mortenmoulder, @RichardPitt, @hausamsee, @nijaobscvra666
• A single stopped clock could switch the stale-data indicator off completely — #1917 #465
• A parked car on a dongle is not a frozen feed, and no longer reports as one — #1917
• The indicator that tells you a reading is old was reading the wrong clock — and the capture time was sitting in the same snapshot all along — #1917 #1364 · thanks @tdrieshof
• The "raise your update interval" card could latch on for good and recommend a bigger number every time — and v5.1.2 is what made that possible — #1942 #1918 · thanks @clipse2004
• A locked car reported its doors unlocked, because the boot was counted as a door — #1950 · thanks @Adcad1970
• The same mistake was live in four more places, and one of them was six brands wide — #1950
• "All closures secured" could say yes with the boot standing open — #1950
• Per-source connectivity sensors read "unavailable" for up to a whole poll interval after every restart — #1954 · thanks @InfObject
• A single "connection reset" on the dongle channel was offered to you as a defect worth filing — #1959

📖 The full account of all 10 changes is in the changelog: CHANGELOG.md → v5.1.3

Each line above is one paragraph there: what broke, how it was measured, and what was deliberately left alone. Written out in full on purpose — for anyone debugging the same thing, and so a summary of this release can be made from the reasoning rather than from the headline.
