Changelog / Release Description

[henryk]

Hi,

first of all, it’s wonderful, that there are so many releases and new features are made available in such a high frequency.

But always there is a but…

The changelog gives some hints what was done, but sometimes they leave more questions than answers.

Maybe this could be improved a little bit in future? Give a short summary what was added or fixed for someone who is not deep in the sources…

So for the current 0.4.4 release there are some points which sound interesting and are good new features, but details what to expect are missing…

• Tonie audio playlist by @SciLor in #151
  → sounds interesting, but where to find?
• Expose webinterface via http only (configurable)
  → maybe give some information why?
• fix E004* folders with jsons
  → what was wrong?
• OTA caching and local OTA delivery (OTA to box is broken!)
  → this seems to be the most interesting part of this release. But it lacks of some details. It sounds like it’s a first step to a working solution?

Or as part of finishing a feature is also extending the documentation of teddycoud?

Anyway to support you there?

Thank you

Hey there,
thank you for your message.

I currently focus on making teddyCloud feature complete and useable for non techies. Therefor many changes are technical groundwork for that. So it is difficult to describe the changes.

The TAPs are currently only available in the backend, there will be more information, if it available on the frontend.

@henryk

Expose webinterface via http only (configurable)
→ maybe give some information why?

It prepares the authentication part. There were several people that would like to protect the webinterface. This way you could protect the backend via nginx and still use https for the toniebox without exposing the webinterface via https.

@henryk

fix E004* folders with jsons
→ what was wrong?

Teddycloud created E004* folders with random json files.

@henryk

OTA caching and local OTA delivery (OTA to box is broken!)
→ this seems to be the most interesting part of this release. But it lacks of some details. It sounds like it’s a first step to a working solution?

It prepares OTA which would allow a factory reset and OTA manipulation. Currently, only caching works.

Thanks for the detailed reply!

Currently I am not using telegram… but maybe I will do so. Have to think about.
