All,

Just in time for the holiday season, it is my pleasure to announce that openHAB 2.4 has been published!
You can find all changes in the official release notes and some additional infos in the blog post about it on our new website.

Many thanks to everyone who was involved in making this release possible!

The development version has already switched to 2.5.0-SNAPSHOT now, where all new development will take place.

Kind regards,
Kai

Scroll to the bottom of the page.

IMO, the Hue Emulation changes should be added to this list though, since people will likely need to make some changes to get it working properly. Only the Lighting tag will currently work in the US, use of group items will require a type in order to be discovered, and Number Items cannot be used.

Thanks! Just updated from 2.4RC1 to 2.4Final. Had to clear cache because many bindings were gone. Maybe this has to be in the update workflow.

Thanks a lot to all contributors :metal:

Very Happy to see the MQTT 2.4 binding and the extended Hue-binding with sensor support under the roof of Eclispesmarthome.

My wish for next Christmas is the same for the Apple-Homekit-Integration - maybe it could be waked up from the sleeping beauty - in German called ā€œDornrƶschenschlafā€?

As an early adaptor of Telekomā€™s VDSL with Entertain it would be great to see SmartHome-Bindings for the subsequent product MagentaTV. I was very impressed to play around with the 1st Testversion of this binding :sunglasses:

The TelekomTV Binding will be in the next release, you should watch the upcoming milestone builds for 2.5 It was a bit to late for the 2.4 releaseā€¦

There is a HTTP v2 binding in the making and the hue binding learns to speak https.
