v2024.9.1

Moved from telnetlib to telnetlib3 because the former will be deprecated from the Python standard libraries
General lint improvements across the codebase.

Fixed lint, manifest bug, and deprecated HA code.

Fixed a bunch of lint
Fixed manifest bug
Fixed deprecated HA code.

v2024.8.1

Small changes to const.py. Added a bunch of new remote control commands and fixed the Shift-digit commands to be more consistent. This is a breaking change if you automations used to catch Shift-0 ... Shift-4 on the remote control.

v2023.2.3

v2023.2.2 and .3 fix minor bugs.

v2023.2.1 is a major release. It significantly improves the reliability of the plugin. Now, if MLGW will turn off or crash and restart, the plugin will automatically reconnect. Also, the code is significantly improved to be faster, for example the updates to icons and names of radio stations happen immediately.

This version also includes Trigger and Action shortcuts to make MLGW devices easier to configure in Automations in Home Assistant.

In addition, the way that Light notifications are sent changed: instead of being sent to a given Room= number, the actual name of the room is used. This may require you to update your automations that use Light signals. In addition, messages now also include the friendly name and entity name of the devices involved, to make it easier to write automations.

Finally, cleanup, refactoring, simplification and overall code maintenance to make it compliant with newer Home Assistant coding standards.
