Change Log

0.5.5.0

  • Deprecated Crypto plugin.
  • Improved install experience for Bookworm (64 Bit)

0.5.4.1

Update installer scripts

Check the OS version and refuse to install on non-32 bit systems. This can be overridden with install.sh -s, but requires several manual steps.

0.5.4.0

Plugin Timeout feature implemented

Plugins will time out and not be displayed if they fail to return within a set time. Timeout is managed through config variable plugin_timeout in [main] section and defaults to 30 seconds. Valid values are integers > 0. A minimum of 30 (default if left unset in config) seconds is recommended for most plugins.

It is advised to update your config files to include this option.

This change prevents plugins from hanging indefinitely in some situations such as extremely slow network performance. This adds an extra layer of protection when plugins fail to handle such issues appropriately.

This may need to be adjusted to 60+ seconds when debugging as some plugins (e.g. Met Weather) produce huge amounts of debug output that can take many tens of seconds to complete on top of the normal plugin execution time.

[main]
...
# plugin timeout - amount of time in seconds to wait for a hung plugin to complete execution
plugin_timeout = 30

Do not wipe screen on shutdown

Leave the last image on the screen when shutting down instead of setting to blank. Note: according to WaveShare, leaving a static image for more than 24 hours can damage the screen.

This option is controlled through config variable no_wipe in the [main] section.

[main]
...
# do not wipe screen when shutting down. True: leave image; False: wipe screen (default)
no_wipe = False

Config file version updated

CONFIG_VERSION file is now at V1.2 and includes the new variable plugin_timeout.

Adding options:

  • no_wipe - Boolean: Do not wipe screen during shutdown
    • Default: False
  • plugin_timeout - Integer: time in seconds before terminating a plugin update
    • Default: 30
