Release of GNU remotecontrol - Version 2.0

Item posted by Stephen H. Dawson DSL <shdawson> on Mon 25 Apr 2016 10:58:35 PM UTC.

The GNU remotecontrol Team is proud to announce our first major upgrade release. The following changes comprise Version 2.0.

CHANGES:
-The code has been rewritten to adopt the Model-View-Controller software architectural pattern. This pattern eases code modification.

-Implemented a Data Abstraction Layer. This functionality mediates access between application and database, allowing implementations across different platforms and systems.

-A single configuration file. This simplicity eases installation effort and helps with diagnosing system performance problems.

-Added enhanced support for time zone offset and daylight savings time. MySQL Server Time Zone Support is used to identify time zone offset from UTC, in combination with input from the GUI web pages.

-Added enhanced management features for application user, thermostat device, thermostat group, and thermostat location.

-Added role-based security. This approach simplifies separating administrative accounts from user accounts.

-Added enhanced error reporting for code performance problems.

-A new Nagios monitoring check, check_forecast. This new check expands the monitoring capability of a HVAC energy system by complementing the existing check_thermostat and check_weather functionality with weather forecast information, to assist estimating future HVAC system performance.
