Glad to hear that! I realize there’s a need for documentation for HABot, I’ll create a walkthrough series to showcase the most important features which I didn’t have time to cover on the Smart Home Day over the weekend.

Any ETA for the 2.4.0.M5 Docker images?

I wonder if we should produce some youtube go-through videos for exiting features of the next release?

I have been thinking about doing that on my channel - the only problem is I may not be able to show good examples for all the new features. I did make an “upgrade” video for version 2.3.

It’s quite an effort to compile the list of commits into a readable list of new feature. I have those in mind:

  • The new rule engine
  • openHAB bot
  • MQTT 2
  • zwave including security devices
109

I see that there been told its not ready yet

what’s going on there. rule engine see good to me. what going to be new there

Everyone who worked on a bigger feature is very much encouraged to provide some introductory content for it - be it as a blog post on our website or as a video on YouTube. With the release, I will compile a release announcement blog post again and the more content that can be referred to from it, the better.

Is there an ETA for the 2.4 stable release?

Can the foundation provide an intro screener, maybe by organising a contest here in the forum?
That would help making openHAB related videos appear more professional.

For example Gnome:

The first 20 seconds is explaining what Gnome is, before the actual changes are presented.

And a second example, Fedora:

The intro screener is just 3 seconds long and shows the official logo and version number and transition into the content.

Could we please move off-topic discussions/questions to separate threads?
I’d like to focus here on the milestone builds.

114

They are now available! :slight_smile:

Caution - NooB Alert!
If I want to “update” from the stable release 2.3 to the newest 2.4 on my raspberry, what to I have to type in Putty?
NooB Alert off :grin:

This is not related to milestone builds so this is off topic. With “latest” you are talking about snapshot builds. Search button and official documentation will get you started (and finished if read carefully) . If you encounter any problems then please open a new thread.

Will 2.4.0 M5 become 2.4.0 Stable or you will release another Milestone Build (M6?) that will become 2.4.0 stable ?

Maybe more “snap-shooters” like me should switch now to M5 to test it (if it will be the one coming up as 2.4.0 Stable)

edit: We wait for M6 to have MQTTv2 also! :slight_smile:

118

Planning to do a M6 in the next days. Probably also further M7/M8 before final release.
MQTTv2 won’t have actions in M6 yet.

For me it wouldn’t want to show up after updating the repos. Testing release is set. Anyone else having this issue?

I posted here a dedicated thread for M6: [OH 2.4.0 M6] Testing Results

I am sure that @Benjy will publish the linuxpkg soon
