openHAB 3.3 Release discussion

After seeing the failure on M7 this morning I did a restart, generated a new authCode, put that in and voice say test worked again from console.
So I re-installed 3.3.0-1, starting up googletts did not work, so generated a new authCode, put that in and voice say test worked again from console.
Thus, my impression that the released version comes with completly broken googletts was wrong.
Still, the outh2 authentication appears to be super fragile and the process to renew it with copying the authCode from the address line feels clumsy, to put it mildly.

Not sure of it’s relevant here, but I ran into an issue with reauthorizations after the first auth is a problem because the refresh token is returned only after the first authorization. The net effect is that it works until the access token needs to be refreshed (about an hour), then it breaks.

I pushed this change for the nest binding, but may be relevant for Google TTS, too. Note the addition of &prompt=consent to the URL.

[nest] Fix for missing refresh token after reauthorization

Edit: I should note that this problem drove me absolutely crazy for days. I would do a reauth, then it would work for a while, then it would break. Rinse and repeat. Finally figured it out.
