Change Log

0.90.0

New easier simpler high level API to create resource types
Rotary speaker and auto pan added to the mixing board
Auto fix and warn on group ID collisions
Refresh cue providers button

0.89.0

This release has one of the first AI features! We use sherpa-onnx and and automatically download models.

For English, vits-piper-en_US-libritts_r-medium is probably a good choice, or use kokoro-multi-lang-v1_0 if you don't need high performance.

You can add a new generated .mp3 by using the module Quick Actions.

To use it in Chandler, create a config entries resource with the key core_plugin_tts/default_model. Then you can use the "speak" command block. In the future, there will probably be more features using TTS.

Piper and Kokoro are supported, but Kokoro is much slower than realtime on edge devices, so it may not be usable. Generated speech is cached compressed in RAM, so you might be able to use it if you have a few repeated phrases.

✨ New system tag points and default alarms for hdmi port connection(/system/display_ports/hdmi_1.connected)
✨ Stateful blocks like on_change in the visual logic editor.
✨ Speak command that useds the new globally configured TTS model.
🐛 Fix web media not rendering without login
🐛 Fix mixer sort issue and use fixed width num param fields
✨ Ability to recover from corrupted chandler state database
🐛 Useless nuisnce vignette warning logs
✨ Use plain exception formatting when not running in a TTY
✨ Audio features work correctly when installed via UV

0.88.0

This release moves some of the last few settings to module resources, so that all settings can be managed consistently in the same way. It also improves autocomplete for them.

It's full of breaking changes that likely don't matter, in years old features that have probably never been used.

Performance should be even better, since some of the removed code was blocking.

💥 BREAKING

Other than the configuration being moved to a resource type, I don't think any of these will actually break anything.

⚰️ The Apprise notification setting is gone. Use a config entries resource(created in a module) on core/apprise_target instead
⚰️ CSS theme setting is gone, use core/css_theme
⚰️ Homepage redirect setting is now core/homepage_redirect
⚰️ No device ever used this, but the on-page text file editor is removed.
⚰️ The global kaithem API object is fully gone
⚰️ Chandler boards from older versions may not work right, but they should have already been auto-migrated long ago.
⚰️ MPV integration with the JACK mixer removed. I don't think anyone ever used this
⚰️ Removed the system event logging feature. Bring your own logs, like systemd offers Tag point logger resources are here to stay.
⚰️ remove numpy and other undocumented utils from tag context
⚰️ Remove never used tag point claim expiration mechanism
⚰️ Remove most likely never used tag set_handler() function
⚰️ kaithem.api.serve_file removed. Instead, serve_file is always available in page resoure code.
⚰️ kaithem.api.lifespan.shutdown renamed to is_shutting_down
💥 kaithem.api.modules.modules_lock is exposed and most APIs in the file require holding it.
💥 Tag points are normalized to lower case.

Others

🧑‍💻 Lots of dead code gone, guided by test conerage metrics.
✨ Map tile server will clear files older than 3 months if cache gets bigger than 32GB(defaults)
✨ Maps app has USGS arial imagery(US only in high res, low res globally).
✨ New iot_devices version that supports nested config.
🐛 Fix editing subdevices
🐛 Fix cues not going away when removing a cue provider.
⚰️ Remove long time interval formatting option
✨ Relicense to GPL v3 or later instead of just GPLv3
✨ Resource type creation is a public API, anyone can define new types.
✨ Ability to disable a resource without deleting it(Except permissions)
🐛 Fix chandler board save not being instant, so zip downloads would not always have latest data
🐛 Fix bug where sometimes chandler board data wouldn't save if the only change was in the fixture setup.
🐛 Fix tag point normalization sometimes not working.
✨ Synchronous cue.enter and exit events.
🐛 Fix setting lighting vals to =expressions not working right

0.87.0

This release is all about adding coverage-guided tests, along with a checklist of manual QA tests.

A large number of bugs were found by adding tests to functions with low coverage. I am quite embarassed that these bugs were just sitting around so long, but the system is up to 70% backend coverage, and they're fixed now!

Some dead code is also gone, some small UI annoyances are fixed, an we have the new Apps page for faster access to certain resources.

Breaking changes

⚰️ filename_for_resource is deprecated due to confusing name, use filename_for_file _resource instead.
🐛 Map MIDI names to message bus topics without the 128:0 part that can change between sessions.
🐛 MIDI channels in Chandler events, message bus topics, and tag names are one-based, to match almost every other app, instead of zero based to match the raw binary.

0.86.2

This release is all about ES modules. I've decided to pretty much completely move on from non-module JS, and as kaithem is not yet 1.0, this will be a hard breaking change that affects most custom JS, requiring minor(a few lines) changes.

It does not affect anything not using custom HTML/JS

🧑‍💻 Dependabot and the general ecosystem have spoken. No more dev branch, we're not using Gitflow.
🧑‍💻 80 line limit.
🐛 Fix bug where the loop sound feature interacted badly with relative length
✨ Widget API will no longer send old failed messages on reconnected after 5 seconds
🐛 Fix nuisance github flavor not found error
✨ Chandler logic lets you use =+ tv("TagName") to trigger when a tag changes to a nonzero value.
✨ Improve chandler autocomplete suggestions
💄 Alerts more visible on devices pages
🐛 Delete button on devices page works correctly
✨ Switch to https://reallyfreegeoip.org for the one time location lookup
✨ kaithem.api.web.render_html_file function for fully client side apps
✨ When setting a @time length, give a popup so you can tell if it was parsed correctly
✨ At boot, logs changes in the environment like installed system packages.
💄 Make cue notes more visible
💄 Less log clouter for notifications
✨ ArduinoCogs support improved.
🐛 i/o error checker stalling bug

💥 BREAKING

widget.mjs along with several other internals are now esm modules. Normal non-esm JS is deprecated or legacy pretty much everywhere.

If you're doing custom JS/Python work with an APIWidget, you'll need to give the APIWidget a widget ID, or fetch the generated one from widget.id, and import it's special API script:

<script type="module">
   import { kaithemapi, APIWidget} from "/static/js/widget.mjs?cache_version=c6d0887e-af6b-11ef-af85-5fc2044b2ae0"
    let api = new APIWidget("widget_id")
    api.upd = (val) => alert(val)
    api.send("MyValue")
</script>

Use:

import { kaithemapi } from "/static/js/widget.mjs?cache_version=c6d0887e-af6b-11ef-af85-5fc2044b2ae0"

if you need to access the widget API directly.

0.86.1

🐛 Minor UI stuff with displaying unsupported devices
✨ Add experimental support for the ArduinoCogs web API, which is still pre-alpha.

0.86.0

This release took a while, because so many tests had to be rewritten for the Popover API based UI. Chandler should be much nicer to use now, especially on Mobile!

Added

✨ Cue provider system lets you quickly create playists from folders of media
✨ Mount/Unmount disks from devices page
✨ Add the module_lock key to the module's __metadata__.yaml to protect from changes via GUI.
✨ Popover-based UI overhaul for Chandler.

Removed

⚰️ control and __variables__ chandler universes
⚰️ Tab to space option: Spaces are always used
⚰️ Screen rotate setting that didn't work on Wayland

✨ All the core web UI sounds are available in chandler
✨ New "Enable Default Alerts" option to disable all the alerts a device sets.
✨ Compact view for chandler cues

Changed

💥 Chandler "Scenes" have been renamed to "Groups" to disambiguate from "Cues" and follow stage lighting practice. This should not be a breaking change, anything user facing gets migrated automatically.
💥 Chandler GotoCue commands no longer stop execution of the current event.
💥 Chandler GotoCue, shortcut, and event happens in the next frame
💥 Tag points and the message bus use system time, not monotonic.

0.81.0

Changed

🔒 New enumerate_endpoints permission required for things that could otherwise reveal the existance or nonexistance of an object without actually giving access to it.

Removed

⚰️ Most widgets other than DataSource and APIWidget are finally gone. That was decade old unmaintained code, one of the last remaining bits of antigue code.

Added

✨ The picodash system replaces widgets with a much easier to use set of custom HTML elements. Documentation coming soon!
✨ Nicer error pages
🔨 Unit testing for the YAML upload/download, which used to be buggy.

Fixed

🐛 Certain commands in chandler like sending a ding to a web player.
🐛 Up/Dowload modules.

0.80.1 (Apr 27)

Fixed

🐛 Even more sneaky camelcase and tag name normalization bugs!

Added

✨ LED element for chandler tag display.

0.80.0 (Apr 24)

Another breaking change heavy beta release. You can now have multiple Chandler boards and JACK mixers.

The good news is that there are now no more major globally-configured objects, which was the main issue with these breaking changes.

Removed

⚰️ Remove ability to create new Mako user pages. Jinja2 all the way!
⚰️ Tag point universes are gone
⚰️ Remove non-chandler simple video signage
⚰️ Special characters no longer allowed in resource names.

Fixed

🐛 Fix loading event after external formatter messes with it.

Added

✨ Checkpoint cues. When a Chandler scene starts, it goes to the last cue it was in with the checkpoint flag. The checkpoints are saved to disk as soon as you enter.
✨ __setup__ cues. Chandler scenes go to this cue if it exists at start before going to any checkpoint.
✨ Button to add time to a running cue
✨ Print more logs
✨ Now you can add tag points directly to a scene as a value.
✨ Any module in your ~/kaithem/plugins folder will be imported at early boot. This is part of the ongoing effort to enable creating content outside the web UI.
✨ Configurable tag points are back! This time much simpler, as a resource plugin.
✨ Config files, resource top level keys, and tag points snake_case, enforced by auto conversion.
✨ 💥 Chandler boards and audio mixers are resources now. There's no global, and you can have multiple. Universes are global so that boards can share DMX interfaces, but resources are not.

Dev

🔨 Pages and Events moved to core plugin(Code refactor, no change for end users)

0.79.0

Development is advanced enough on the new overhaul that it makes sense to start using the GitFlow methodology.

⚰️ Mako user pages are deprecated and will be removed
⚰️ The kaithem object will likely be removed eventually. Replace with importable kaithem.api when in catches up on features.
⚰️ 💥 Remove ALL web tag configurability.

Since this was a core feature, it will be back. But it was one of the worst parts of the codebase AND had bad UX, it was very much in need of a full rewrite.

For now it is not possible to set or override alerts. I normally hate rewrites, but believe this is really needed. You can create loggers already, they are their own separate resource type.

Tags, in newer editions, should have a single source of config, and the code for config should be separate from tag internals.

⚰️ 💥 Remove freeboard. It was a good run, but I'd rather focus on core code quality than maintain the customized fork, which in itself had become bloated. Similar functionality may come back, but really, Chandler handles those use cases.
✨ Switch from typeguard to Beartype.
✨ More unit testing
✨ Loggers are now a resource type that lives in modules, separate from tags.
⚰️ Remove more old files
⚰️ Remove all references to custom recur library, use more standard dateutil+recurrent
✨ __schedule__ special cue skips ahead through a chain of cues with @time lengths, to the one matching the current time best.
🐛 fix broken shuffle:* special cue
⚰️ Must explicity specify a type for all display tags
💄 Move help to inside the tools page
🔨 Many features moved to included core plugins, but still work exactly as before.
🐛 Fix module import/export
🐛 Fix back button taking user to old version of event

0.78.1

This is mostly just about the install scripts and a few leftover bugs. A lot has changed on Pi OS with Wayland!

There was a huge amount of old stuff to clean up, but now that so much of the custom and unusual code is gone, I expect future versions to be much more reliable, compatible, and easier to maintain.

🐛 Fix broken @time lengths in chandler
🐛 Fix short web media files endless looping
🔨 unit testing
✨ Don't run integrated selftest when running unit tests
⚰️ Remove the sdmon cache service from linux-tweaks.sh, integrate that feature instead.
⚰️ Don't intercept sound for the chrome kiosk
✨ Move linux package cleanup util to new uninstall-bloatware.sh script
✨ Move installing utilities to new install-utilities.sh script
🐛 Fix various helper script compatibility issues.
🐛 Restore world maps and web console that the new linter accidentally broke...
🐛 Fix external modules being loaded with wrong name
🐛 Icemedia 0.1.12, works correctly in venv on pi
🐛 The tmpfs on /tmp was too small to run pipx reliably.
🐛 Fix some kind of dependency conflict with attr

Tested on

OS: Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm) aarch64 Host: Raspberry Pi 4 Model B Rev 1.2

OS: Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS x86_6

0.78.0

This is another pretty heavy breaking change release. Nearly every file has been touched.

I was not going to release this so early. There may be bugs. YMMV. Consider it early alpha. However, it does seem to work just fine.

However I discovered that the old installer was unreliably due to some kind of virtualenv behavior where it decides to randomly use /venv/local/bin instead of /venv/bin.

To fix this, we are moving to pipx and Poetry, eliminating almost all the custom installation related code.

To do so I had to get rid of --system-site-packages completely. This change broke gstreamer, but there is a fix!

Thanks ❤️ to happyleavesaoc for discovering a way to make gstreamer work in a virtualenv. All you need to do is symlink the gi package into your site-packages! Kaithem now does this automatically on Debian and probably most everything else.

In an unrelated bit of news, I discovered that a huge number of things were not loading due to python/cpython#91216. Kaithem now contains a workaround for it in tweaks.py. and can load things affected by the bug.

🐛 Fix unused subdevice nuisance method resolution error
⚰️💥 Remove old baresip code
⚰️💥 Remove kaithem.midi API
⚰️💥 Remove the image map creator util

⚰️ Remove nixos config that was probably outdated. It's in the log if ya need it!
💥 Default storage dir is now ~/kaithem no matter how you install it
🔨 Split off the sound stuff in a separate libary IceMedia meant for easy standalone use.
🔨 Split off internal scheduling and state machines to Scullery meant for easy standalone use.
🔨 Move to pyproject.toml
🔨 Move to a pipx based install process
♻️ A very large amount of old code is gone
♻️ Start moving to a proper dialog generation class instead of ad-hoc templates.s
💄 Add badges(CC0 licensed)
💄 Slim down the readme

0.77.0

This release was going to be a simple polish and bugfix.... However, I discovered some subtle bugs related to a legacy feature, and this turned into a pretty big cleanup effort in some older code, removing several old features.

While this release should be ready and usable, and has been tested, you should use it with caution just due to the scope of changes involved.

Previously you could save device config both in modules and a global devices list. That and several other aspects of device config were causing lots of user and implementation complexity.

Now you can only save them in modules. Keeping them in modules lets you use the import/export features and is much more powerful. You can still load legacy devices until the next version. Please make a module and move your devices there, you can set where to save a device on the device page.

🐛 Restore the broken optimization for events that don't need to poll
🐛 Fix fixture types window being too small
🐛 Fix nuisance error when deleting mixer channel
🐛 Fix enttec open atapter showing as disconnected when it wasn't
🐛 Fix unsupported device warnings feature
🐛 Displayed value in UI correctly updates for refresh button
🐛 Fix devices UI setting bad value when you specified 'false'
🐛 Remove caching on modules listing that was casuing issues.
🐛 Notification handler code was spawning tons of threads bogging everything down.
💄 Better combo box feel
💄 Icons switched to MDI Icons for harmony with other automation platforms.
💄 More compact strftime default
⚰️ Remove the complicated and never-used system for creatig device types in events
⚰️ Remove the legacy device type system and all the devices from before iot_devices. All were unmaintained and some may have been broken by hardware vendors.
⚰️ Remove the input and output binding feature of devices. Chandler can do everything it could, and it was not a clean separation of device and logic.
⚰️ Remove the bluetooth admin panel. Try bluetuith!
⚰️ Remove some old junk files
⚰️ kaithem.gpio is gone. Use the GPIO devices in the device manager for this purpose.
✨ BREAKING: The name of a device stored in a module is independet of module name or folder
✨ BREAKING: / now used to separate subdevice names
✨ BREAKING: Device config dirs now end with .config.d, automatic migration is impossible, however nothing except the DemoDevice uses conf dirs.
✨ BREAKING: It is no longer possible to save devices outside modules. Please migrate all devices to a module(Legacy devices still load, they just can only be saved into modules.)
🔨 Use pre-commit

Specific devices removed:

BareSIP
Kasa
Sainsmart Relay boards
RasPi Keypad
JACK Fluidsynth
Espruinio

Some may return in iot_devices later.

See: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1339765/replacing-pulseaudio-with-pipewire-in-ubuntu-20-04 for info on switching to PipeWire. The next EmberOS will have Pipewire running by default already.

⚰️ Remove ability for kaithem to manage PipeWire or JACK. That should be done by the system.
⚰️ Remove PulseAudio sharing mode. Use Pipewire, manage it yourself, or just don't use Pulse
⚰️ JACKD is considered legacy tech and support will be removed as soon as all common Debian platforms easily support PipeWire
⚰️ Remove ability to manage USB soundcards. Pipewire does that for us!

0.68.21 Security Matters!

⚰️ Remove a lot of dead code
⚰️ 🔥 BREAKING: Remove the entire VirtualResource mechanism. I think it was too complicated to use anyway.
As a result, getting a Device object will give a Weak Proxy to the device instead of a VirtualResourceInterface.
REMINDER: When accessing a Device, tagpoint, etc, don't keep a reference to somthing a user could update and replace! access kaithem.devices['foo'] directly rather than making a local reference.
Tag Points and the Message Bus are the official ways to do loose coupling, and are much simpler.
🐛 Fix inability to create new device inside a module
⚰️ Theming, alert tones, and server locations use files in core.settings. Registry data is auto migrated.
✨ New kaithem.persist.unsaved dict for user-created files to inform the UI of unsaved changes.
🔥 Announce that the registry will be deprecated eventually. Modules should attempt to move data to files instead.
⚰️ Remove mailing list features, as they were very old, unmaintained, and email is a security critical feature.
⚰️ Remove kaithem.serial. It was unmaintained and never production-tested, and not used internally here in a very long time.
⚰️ Remove the restart server option. On newer systems it would sometimes just stop and not restart.

0.68.20
