• Reworked small parts of the file watcher
• Doc improvements
• Dependency updates

Version 0.20.1

• Optimized AggregationItem
• HABApp logs are now included by default in Frontail on openhabian
• Fixed a bug where HABApp and logging config was not reloaded

Version 0.20.0

• added Eventfilter

Version 0.19.1

• Text header is now properly set (fix for empty strings with Openhab 3)
• Added info about installation through openhabian

Version 0.19.0

• MQTT creates items in HABApp only for messages with persist. Events still get created, even if the item does not exist.
  This shouldn't be but could be a braking change.
• Removed many deprecated functions
• HABApp will now use the openhab log folder as a log-default when started for the first time on a openhabian installation
• Reworked MQTT connection so it is now a module, too (Item/Rule interface stays the same)
• Better error message when rule files are executed outside of HABApp
• Added lots of documentation

Version 0.18.1

• items can use timedelta in watch_change and watch_update
• Added possibility to specify references in thing config
• MqttItem does no longer inherit from Item
• Added MqttPairItem:
  An item that consolidates a topic that reports states from a device and a topic that is used to write to a device.
• Updated documentation (big thanks to yfaway)
• Removed skipping of set_value and post_value in docs

Version 0.18.0

Changes and Bugfixes:

• Fixed a bug where the item watchers would not work after deleting and immediately adding an item again (e.g. *.items file change)
  Closes #184
• BaseWatch has now a function which listens exactly to this event
• ItemTimes.add_watch accepts a timedelta, too
• If a file depends on another file that doesn't exist and that file gets added the depending file will be loaded correctly (fixes #186)
• A file with duplicate rule names will no longer break the file load (fixes #187)
• Item registry: renamed set_item to add_item which also raises an exception if the item already exists

Small improvements

• EventBusListener can filter on event properties
• creating/canceling an item watch gets now logged

• Doc fixes by Rosi2143
