openHABian has finally reached v1.0! 🎉 🎆 🎉
Quite a lot has changed since the last version (v0.9). Check the list of updates or the commit history to get an idea. The release of version 1.0 is less related to new breaking changes and more related to two developments:
- We finally transferred openHABian to the official openHAB GitHub organization, ensuring combined further developement: https://github.com/openhab/openhabian
- With the big overhaul of the official documentation page openHABian now got it's very own docs.openHAB.org article. Have a look: http://docs.openhab.org/installation/openhabian.html - For sure you can expect all the details about openHABian on this page in the next couple of weeks. If you want to contribute, let me know!
