We tried as much as possible supporting you in getting valid setup done, as well as providing enough room for expert users to tweak configurations here and there.
The reworked dashboard provides you now with the ability to control individual components, jump to key configuration items, as well as to switch between LED instances easily.
The refined color coding in the user-interfaces, helps you to quickly identify instance specific and global configuration items.
Of course, the release brings new features (e.g. USB Capture on Windows), as well as minor enhancements and a good number of fixes.
- Hyperion packages can now be installed under Ubuntu (x64) and Debian (amd64/armhf) (incl. Raspberry Pi OS) via our own APT server.
Details about the installation can be found in the [installation.md](https://github.com/hyperion-project/hyperion.ng/blob/master/Installation.md) and at [apt.hyperion-project.org](apt.hyperion-project.org).
- Find here more details on [supported platforms and configuration sets](https://github.com/hyperion-project/hyperion.ng/blob/master/doc/development/SupportedPlatforms.md)
- The Dashboard is now a one-stop control element to control instances and link into configuration areas
- LED Instance independent configuration objects (e.g. capturing hardware) are now separated out in the menu
- New menu item "Sources" per LED instances configuration to enable/disable screen or usb grabber per instance
#### Grabbers
- Windows Media Foundation USB grabber (incl. Media Foundation transform/Turbo-JPEG scaling)
- Linux V4L2 Grabber now supports the following formats: NV12, YUV420
- Image flipping ability in ImageResampler/Turbo-JPEG
- UI: Simplified screens for non-expert usage, do only show elements relevant
- Discover available Grabbers (incl. their capabilities for selection), not supported grabbers are not presented. Note: Screen capturing on Wayland is not supported (given the Wayland security architecture)
- USB Grabber: New ability to configure hardware controls (brightness, contrast, saturation, hue), as well as populating defaults
- Configuration item ranges are automatically adopted based on grabber capabilities,
- Grabbers can only be saved with a valid configuration
- Standalone grabbers: Added consistent options/capabilities for standalone grabbers, debug logging support
- Screen grabbers: Allow to set capture frequency, size decimation and cropping across all grabber types
- Screen grabber: QT-Grabber allows to capture individual displays or all displays in a multi-display setup
- Display Signal Detection area in preview (expert users)
- UI: Only show CEC detection, if supported by platform
#### LED-Devices
- Select device from list of available devices (UI Optimization - Select device from list of available devices #1053) - Cololight, Nanoleaf, Serial Devices (e.g. Adalight), SPI-Device, Pi-Blaster
- Get device properties for automatic configuration of number of LEDs and initial layout (WLED, Cololight, Nanoleaf)
- For selected devices a default layout configuration is created, if the user chooses "Overwrite" (WLED, Cololight, Nanoleaf, all serial devices, all spi device, pi-blaster)
- Ensure Hardware LED count matches number of lights (Philips Hue, Yeelight, Atmo Orb)
- User is presented a warning/error, if there is a mismatch between configured LED number and available hardware LEDs
- Add udev support for Serial-Devices
- Allow to get properties for Atmo and Karatedevices to limit LED numbers configurable
- Philips Hue: Add basic support for the Play Gradient Lightstrip
- WLED: Support of ["live" property] (https://github.com/Aircoookie/WLED/issues/1308) (#1095)
- WLED: Brightness overwrite control by configuration
- WLED: Allow to disable WLED synchronization when streaming via hyperion
- WLED: Support storing/restoring state (#1101)
- Adalight: Fix LED Num for non analogue output in arduino firmware
- Allow to blacklist LEDs in layout via UI
- Live Video image to LedLayout preview (#1136)
#### Other
- Effects: Support Custom Effect Templates in UI for custom effect creation and configuration
- Effects: Custom effect separation in the systray menu
- New languages - Portuguese (Std/Brazil) & Norwegian (Bokmål)
- New Flags: Russia, Cameroon, Great Britain, England, Scotland
- Provide cross compilation on x86_64 for developers using docker. This includes the ability to use local code, as well as build incrementally
* discover, getProperties, identify, store/restore state and power-on/off available for Philips-Hue, Nanoleaf, Yeelight, partially for Rs232 / USB (Hid)
If you used a `.deb` package please uninstall it before you upgrade
- Check for the package name `apt-cache search hyperion`. You may see now a entry like `hyperion-x86`, `hyperion-rpi`
- Remove with the correct name `sudo apt-get remove hyperion-XX`
- Now install the new .deb as usual. From now on the package is just called `hyperion`
