OK, but if I’m not using Java Script tranformation the error shouldn’t occur?
Version 2.5.6 installed manually (as usual for me).
Basic UI is working well. In fact everything is working well 
I should admit that at the first startup of the new version, the Z-Wave binding was OFFLINE. After a restart, everything is ONLINE.
9 new bindings in one month and several enhancements, that is great.

Hi together,
same problem here, but i’m sure it’s not a transformation problem, but a rest api problem. Just use the rest api view and try to get all items with the "items/get/“try it out!” and you will see, that no valid response is shown. No problem with 2.5.5. This breaks my openhab-exporter for prometheus.
I went back to 2.5.5 since 2.5.6 is too buggy!!!
LG

As far as I can see, there are no changes regarding the rest api, but there MUST be some changes, since it doesn’t work with 2.5.6. I’m running the openhab image from docker hub on a raspberry pi 4 and after the last “pull” the rest api ist brocken. Try to get all items using the rest api view and you will see the problem.
2.5.6 breaks HomeKit
All commands for HomeKit settings in the OpenHab Console are gone.
we can not reset the pairings etc.
Good news, https://github.com/openhab/openhab-addons/issues/7880 (JS transformation issue) has been fixed (thanks @wborn for providing the fix!) and we have pushed a new package 2.5.6-2 to the linux repos (thanks @Benjy). It should also be very easy for anyone to fix it locally, in case you’d like to do so - all it takes is to remove a single line.
All, please leave this topic here for doing the announcements - any bugs that you might experience should please directly be reported on Github, thanks.

Thank you very much for this quick fix! 
I have the same issue here, something related to [homekit] fix corrupt storage by yfre · Pull Request #7940 · openhab/openhab-addons · GitHub? @yfre
openhab> smarthome:homekit clearPairings
Command not found: smarthome:homekit
And seems properly installed:
openhab-misc-homekit x 2.5.6 x x x Started x openhab-addons-2.5.6 x HomeKit Integration
what you get if you just type “homekit” without smarthome?
openhab> homekit
Command not found: homekit
same for me
same for me here
I think there’s a more generalized problem with GitHub right now.
(I was able to see the notes before)
EDIT: seems to be fixed now
Yes, openHAB 2.5.6 release notes are back again at https://github.com/openhab/openhab-distro/releases/tag/2.5.6.
Btw, a good point was raised in Announcements being used for discussions / questions etc and as a consequence I am closing this topic here.
Any questions and discussions should best happen in a dedicated topic (and referencing this one here, so that the links are visible here as a list) or - if it is clearly a bug - directly be reported on Github.

Following the monthly release cycle, we have again released a new patch release today (due to the holiday season, it wasn’t done on a Sunday as all the previous releases, but we’ll get back to that in August): openHAB 2.5.7 has been published!
You can find the release notes as usual on Github at https://github.com/openhab/openhab-distro/releases/tag/2.5.7.
We again have 8 new bindings coming with it and a lot of enhancements and fixes on existing ones. I am very happy about this great progress, which would not have been possible without @fwolter, who joined our add-on maintainer team just a month ago - he really did an awesome job for the community in the past weeks already!
Since you cannot comment on this topic directly, feel free to address any comments, questions and other remarks here.

Exactly one month after my last post, we reached openHAB 2.5.8!
The release notes are available on Github at https://github.com/openhab/openhab-distro/releases/tag/2.5.8.
I’d like to use the opportunity to share some details on our plans for the coming months:
openHAB 2.5.9 is tentatively scheduled for September 20 and it will be the last “big” 2.5.x patch release. Immediately after this release, we will make the master branch (i.e. 3.x) of the add-ons repo the default branch to work on - only major and critical fixes will be backported to the 2.5.x branch and become part of a 2.5.10 release. Early October we should have a first milestone build of openHAB 3.0 and we are still aiming for the release by the end of the year.
Please use this topic for any follow-ups, questions and discussions.
