Announcements
143

hi Kai, what if the original maintainer seems to have left the building?

144

Fix it yourself or find someone else interested in having it fixed :slight_smile: .

145

Please note that you can from now on find direct links to the latest milestone on https://www.openhab.org/download/
as well as some explanation between the different versions for novice users.

Feel free to provide feedback!
Thanks

Excellent! Why was this only done now by December 2018? Would have liked to have these clear options for years. Great work!

147

You need to sign up to the “Announcement” section and you will never miss such information, and of course, you need to read. “Watching first post” is very handy if you don’t like to be notified on every single message.

148

I agree but the new links on the download page are MUCH EASIER and also suitable for every newcomer who has not read this forum for years. I think OH suffered a lot in the past form all these complicated scattered information which made it unnecessary hard for every beginner to join in. Normally you would expect this information on the download page of the main website (where it finally arrived now) and I really appreciate this!

149

From what I remember: The download section already had the direct links for manual deployment of the 2.3.0 Stable Release (since the website was revamped during the summer of 2018)

The recent change was about the addition of the Milestone builds/releases for testing purposes (the Milestones are not very appropriate for newcomers :slight_smile:)

150

sorry for the noob question

how can we know in which current milestone is currently openhab?

how to know what is the milestone of the openHAB 2.4.0 Build #1451?

Thanks

@Kai
thank you very much, tonight I try

156

Thanks a lot.
I will try it right away! :slight_smile:

I love the new Milestone release approach!
:slight_smile:

157

Done!
Awesome - No changes needed.
Using new km200, new amazonecontrol.

No issues :slight_smile:

158

@David_Graeff my values of my MQTT items suddenly seem to be divided by 10 is this part of some api change? Or do you need more information?

Also my time-of-day rule has some regression problems (since a few weeks), it reports day but it is seriously dark out here, there also moments where it worked, but it used to be more accurate. Did you, @rlkoshak already test and notice this as wel

159

My fault. The different types of channels were not tested and I made a commit where I removed custom parsing code and replaced it with the TypeParser class (to allow INCREASE on a number channel for example). The number and color channels broke.

There is a hot fix already merged by Kai and a proper fix commit with tests on its way.

After upgrading to 2.4 M8 I receive a lot of Errors in Paper UI: 503 Jersey is not ready yet!

I tried clearing browser cache, different browser and openhab restart.

Never had those Problems with 2.3

161

I have also upgraded but how can you know that you are currently in m8 ?
my build number is 2.4.0-SNAPSHOT Build #1458.

i do not see a place to validate what is my current milestone

i can not find any indications on the build number in https://ci.openhab.org/job/openhab2-release/64/

162

I have not noticed anything. Look at the Astro binding. You should see around midnight in openhab.log some statements from the Astro binding saying it is calculating the times for the new day. If you don’t see those it means that your Astro Items are not updated and the Astro events are not occurring.
