I would like to thank @cpmeister too. He boosted the review and merge of PRs with good review comments.

@Kai : don’t forget to update the links on this page: https://www.openhab.org/download/

[Kai (Kai Kreuzer)]

Thanks for the reminder - done!

@Kai
Currently 2.5.4 isn’t found with an openhabian installation.
I’ve done:
sudo apt-get update
and
sudo apt-get upgrade -s

Maybe something is wrong with the repos?

Regards

Helmar

@Benjy Looks as if https://ci.openhab.org/view/Release%20Jobs/job/openhab-linuxpkg-release/23/ failed to deploy to Bintray. Any idea why this is?

[Benjy (Ben Clark)]

I’m not sure, requesting the step to be done again in artifactory successfully deploys it (using the same rule). I don’t think anything has changed in that logic…

I’ve created openhab-linuxpkg/168 to track and solve.

2.5.4 is now on Bintray and available for install for Linux packages.

Thanks for the quick help!

Hi all! I may ask a stupid question, but how does work the windows version update? Download and extract on the older version folder?
It will be a mess for me If I ruin my setup right now…

Thanks in advance!

Windows

Use the PowerShell script…

[Andreu_Ferret (Hemaniaco)]

Thank you very much @jmelhus

[Bruce_Osborne]

I find it amazing how many forum questions are answered in the official documentation.

[Andreu_Ferret (Hemaniaco)]

True @Bruce_Osborne , I should have checked better before asking.

[ciscomike (Mike Karantakis)]

Thank you for this great work.
Just updated openHabian from 2.5.3 to 2.5.4
FYI at the moment I couldn’t see the dashboard, after stopping the service and clear /tmp and /cash everything works fine now.

[stfn82 (Stefan)]

Next time please use the command mv /cash stfn82 followed by sudo openhab-cli clean-cache

[Bruce_Osborne]

@stfn82

use the command mv /cash stfn82

??? What is that supposed to do?

[job (Joachim Boeddeker)]

@Bruce_Osborne

??? What is that supposed to do?

I guess it moves some cash to @stfn82.

[ciscomike (Mike Karantakis)]

I’m sorry about that, I meant /cache

[Bruce_Osborne]

But you promised cash!!

[NCO (E. Gerland)]

@stfn82

sudo openhab-cli clean-cache

does this the same stuff like
sudo rm -R /var/lib/openhab2/cache/*
and
sudo rm -R /var/lib/openhab2/tmp/*

Never mind.
I found (again):

Clear the Cache

Often when one encounters a problem with OH, particularly after an update, OH will refuse to run or certain parts of OH stop working. Some reported errors include: 500 or 404 errors when accessing the UIs lots of exceptions from Jetty or other core components in openhab.log OH refuses to start at all The first step in debugging the problem is to clear the tmp and cache. Installed OH If you are running an installed OH (openHABian, installed using apt or yum): openhab-cli stop openhab-cl…
