Indigo 7.4 Release Notes

[jay (support)]

7.4.0 is now available for download (you must be logged in to your Indigo Account to download). For an overview of the changes in this version, see our blog announcement here.

Note: This release may not be available to all Indigo 7 users, specifically those who have allowed their Up-to-Date Subscription to lapse. The downloads page will show if you are eligible for the latest release or you can also check the licenses page in your Indigo Account or use the Indigo 7(.X)->License Details... menu to see the status of your subscription.

Any maintenance releases of Indigo 7.4 (7.4.1, etc) will be outlined below this post on this forum topic.

A reminder on app and path names: we've made it easier for users to switch back to a previous Indigo version if they like. For this release, we've changed the install path to:

Code: Select all

/Library/Application Support/Perceptive Automation/Indigo 7.4/

The installer is smarter than it used to be and now moves control page images over for you (among other improvements). The other change is that the Indigo Mac Client app is now named Indigo 7.4 to identify which client you're trying to launch. If you have problems upgrading from a previous version of Indigo then read through the appropriate upgrade section:

• Upgrading from Indigo 7.3 to 7.4
• Upgrading from Indigo 7.2 to 7.4
• Upgrading from Indigo 7.0 and 7.1 to 7.4

New General Features and Fixes

• Introduced macOS Catalina (10.15) compatibility.
  
• Added embedded Python conditional support to Triggers and Schedules (replaces AppleScript conditionals).
  
• Added new Match On State to Device action which will match any number of devices that support binary (on/off) state to a specified device.
  
• Added new Match On State to Variable action which will match any number of devices that support binary (on/off) state to a specified variable's value.
  
• Added new Match Brightness to Variable action which will match any number of devices that support dimming to a specified variable's value.
  
• Added additional log information (action name) to help better diagnose errors in some built-in actions.
  
• Increased maximum allowed Control Page font point size from 150 to 300.
  
• Added Help->Show AppleScript Usage in Event Log menu to help users identify AppleScripts that need to be evaluated.
  
• Removed AppleScript from conditions and embedded Execute Script action.
  
• Fixed bug that would cause the Indigo Client to shutdown the Indigo Server upon connecting in some scenarios.
  
• Fixed bug that prevented Indigo Touch auto server discovery from working if the database name was over 64 characters long.

Note: Indigo 7.4 and beyond no longer support AppleScripts that target the Indigo Server (tell application "IndigoServer" or using terms from "IndigoServer"). See the AppleScript Integration Strategies article for help with converting to Python or other solutions.

7.4.1 is now available for download (you must be logged in to your Indigo Account to download). Although normally bug fix "dot releases" do not include much new functionality, this release is an exception. There was significant functionality we had hoped would make it into 7.4.0 but that was delayed until this release. Enjoy!

This update includes the following changes:

New General Features and Fixes

• Installer (and disk image) are now fully code signed and notarized to prevent macOS malware warnings.
• Added macOS Dark Mode support.
• Added priority loading of all internal plugins.
• Added confirmation message to Show AppleScript Usage in Event Log that report was successfully run even if no AppleScripts were found.
• Disabled smart quotes in action and conditional script text views (disabled by default now but user can still override).
• Increased maximum allowed Control Page font point size from 150 to 300 for device state and variable values.
• Improved Insteon Dim By action to consistently turn module OFF when brightness is set to less than 0.5%.
• Fixed bug that would cause Show AppleScript Usage in Event Log command to log errors when embedded AppleScripts that contain non-ASCII characters.
• Fixed bug that caused the Write to Log action to sometimes fail when substituting non-ASCII characters.
• Fixed bug that caused the Configure... button in the plugins preferences panel to fail.
• Fixed bug that caused device state substitutions on state names with periods in them to fail (i.e. "%%d:12345:some.state").

SQL Logger Improvements

• Improved handling of broken pipe socket errors in the SQL Logger plugin.
• Reduced debug logging caused by SQL Logger plugin during device state changes.
• Added support for device level sqlLoggerIgnoreStates shared property that can be used to prevent table updates for specific states. Use the Global Property Manager plugin to define a new key (sqlLoggerIgnoreStates) that's value is a comma separated list of states that will be ignored when determing if there was a state change worthy of adding a new row to the device logging table. Setting sqlLoggerIgnoreStates to * will ignore all state updates for the device. Note ignored state values will still be written to new device rows if there is a non-ignored state update (the ignore list only prevents triggering new rows to be added).
• Added support for variable level sqlLoggerIgnoreChanges shared property that can be used to prevent table updates for specific variables. Setting sqlLoggerIgnoreChanges to true will ignore all variable value updates. See script notes for an example.

Scripting, Developer and API Changes

• Python shared include folder name and location has changed. The folder for storing python files shared between scripts and plugins is changing from:
       /Library/Application Support/Perceptive Automation/Indigo 7(.x)/Scripts/Attachments/
  to:
       /Library/Application Support/Perceptive Automation/Python2-includes/
  Python files in the old location will automatically be copied to the new shared location by the installer. Additionally, users are now encouraged to store any external script files in the new shared folder (instead of the Indigo version specific folders):
       /Library/Application Support/Perceptive Automation/Scripts/
• Plugin API version number has been incremented to v2.3.
• Plugin API addition: Added sharedProps property and replaceSharedPropsOnServer(sharedProps) method to main object instances (devices, triggers, variables, etc.) allowing for shared (readable and writable) properties across all plugins and scripts. This gives access to the same properties the user can manage on devices via the Global Property Manager plugin. Example usage:
  

  Code: Select all

  sharedProps = dev.sharedProps
sharedProps["sqlLoggerIgnoreStates"] = "brightnesslevel, onoffstate"
dev.replaceSharedPropsOnServer(sharedProps)

sharedProps = var.sharedProps
sharedProps["sqlLoggerIgnoreChanges"] = "true"
var.replaceSharedPropsOnServer(sharedProps)

• Fixed bug (introduced in 7.4.0) that caused python trigger/schedule/action group lookups that fail (because object does not exist) to log an error but not throw an exception. They now throw an exception like that did before 7.4.0.
• Fixed bug that caused device state substitutions on state names with periods in them to fail (i.e. "%%d:12345:some.state").
