v2.46 move tmp files to /www/altui/* in prep of firmware 7.30
change support url
add CORS capabiity report in controller table page
add sort by name or by ID option to page Devices
display lua code for scene actions
bugfix: unexistant data provider crashes editing UI
bugfix: on checkbox position in forms
bugfix: multi controller fix in workflow lua editor

[amg0]

V 2.46.2536

• 'Use CORS in multicontroller (> 7.0.30) for data_request',
  

• 'bugfix: fix Hue Icon display in multicontroller mode',
  

• 'Have a Enable CORS feature on page Table Controllers'
  

NOTE: 7.0.30 enables CORS but is not perfect , so only data_request url seems to be able to use CORS. Nevertheless, this is useful in mutlicontroller setup. when you use CORS, ALTUI talks directly to the secondary controllers so it does not load the first controller like in non CORS mode. in non CORS mode the first controller acts as a proxy for all which is quickly overloading it.

that feature is only useful for multicontroller setup and only possible:

• On controllers with firmware >= 7.0.30
• Once you enabled CORS in the page controllers for your secondary controllers

The feature remains is unperfect ( some traffic still go through controller 0 ) , until I manage to convince VERA to support CORS on all request, not just data_request

[amg0]

V 2.47.2539

  'Display Disable NNU control if >= 7.30',
  'UI improvement in device zWave configuration page',
  'Migrate to bootstrap 4.4.1',
  'bugfix: Workflow rename',
  'bugfix: workflow scaling'

Notes: if a device is zwave, battery operated and if the vera’s firmware version is above or equal to 7.30, a checkbox is presented to enabled the user to choose to Disable the NNU ( mini network heal ) on wake up.

Also a slight refactoring of the user interface for the zWave pages. now a tab based view allows to switch between the zWave decode page, the zWave variable page and this new zWave Vera special actions page.
