v1.2.2

This is a bug fix release.

Changes since 1.2.1:

• Fix a crash introduced in 1.2.1 that would happen if a status-derived data group was polled during a 1 second window that happens every 15 minutes

v1.2.1

This is a bug fix / work around release.

Significant changes since 1.2.0:

• Work around recent dish firmware versions passing 0 for ping latency in status response

v1.2.0

This release adds support for polling power consumption history data for hardware versions that support it, as well as a few other minor features.

Power consumption data is added both as a new field in the bulk_history data mode and as a new data mode power for summary stats.

In the core module, this is added as a new key in the dict returned from history_bulk_data and an additional dict in the tuple returned from history_stats. Both changes should be backward compatible if callers paid attention to the notes in the docstring for those functions.

Other significant changes since 1.1.3:

• Add an option to dish_obstruction_map.py to reset the obstruction map data, as well as a corresponding new function, reset_obstruction_map, in the core module.
• Add a new script dish_chek_update.py to poll for, and optionally trigger, available dish firmware updates. This can be used to force the update to happen at a different time than it would normally install.
• Add location data to the Prometheus exporter.

v1.1.3

This is a small release to add a function to the core module.

Relevant changes since 1.1.2:

• Add function get_sleep_config to the core module.

v1.1.2

This release should significantly improve robustness against future changes to the gRPC protocol advertised by the dish.

New functionality since 1.1.1:

• Add new output script for exporting HTTP page that Prometheus can import.
• Add ARM64 Docker image generation, making it a multi-architecture image.
• Add support to dish_control.py for setting the sleep mode schedule, support for which was recently added to the dish firmware.

Other major changes since 1.1.1:

• Fix dish_obstruction_map.py breakage in the Docker image due to missing pip package.
• Limit Docker image to just the main scripts, to avoid confusion about why that other junk was there.
• Protect against future changes in the gRPC protocol crashing the scripts due to field removal, resulting in urgent need to update the code. Now, the affected fields should just stop reporting data.

v1.1.1

This is a bug fix release.

Changes since 1.1.0:

• Fix a crash when pulling status data introduced by latest firmware obsoleting 2 of the attributes in the grpc protocol used for the obstruction_detail mode group. That mode is pretty useless now, but it remains selectable for backwards compatibility purposes. Users of that mode group may want to look into the dish_obstruction_map.py script or related functions in the starlink_grpc module.

v1.1.0

This release added a new Python module prerequisite, so either repeat the pip command from the README file's installation instructions, or just do: pip install typing-extensions to get it.

Major changes since 1.0.2:

• Started adding type hints to the core module (starlink_grpc). While this is probably only of interest to developers who use that module directly, it is what added the new prerequisite.
• Added new mode group location for physical location (GPS) data. Use of this mode requires some specific configuration of the dish, see the README file for details.
• Added new item "is_snr_above_noise_floor" to the status mode group.

v1.0.2

This release is mostly just a roll-up of small changes in order to facilitate the export of the core module package.

Changes since 1.0.1:

• Added new script dish_control.py for (minimal) control of dish system state.
• Minor changes around error case handling and small functionality enhancements.
• Added packaging configuration for export of the starlink_grpc module as an installable pip package (named starlink-grpc-core) for use by other projects.

v1.0.1

Major changes since 1.0.0:

• Add separate output script for InfluxDB 2.x servers that does not require the compatibility mode commands be run on the server
• Improvements to the --poll-loops functionality to make it keep data better across script restart and better handle some dish connection failure cases
• Add a JSON mode to the MQTT output script that allows for reporting a single correlated data set instead of individually publishing each data field
• Add some systemd start script examples and better support for such in some of the output scripts

v1.0.0

First non-pre-release version.

Code changes since 0.4.0:

• Improvements to behavior around interrupted network connectivity to the dish

Documentation changes since 0.4.0:

• Moved a bunch of content out of the README to the project Wiki
• Changed the Docker usage instructions to point to the image published to GitHub Packages repository by this project's Action workflow, thus changing the officially supported Docker image to that one
