[2.11.0] - 2020-04-01

https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/releases/tag/v2.11.0

🚨 READ THIS BEFORE UPDATING 🚨

In the past years the project has grown a lot. This came with a huge downside: poor maintainability. If I let the project continue the way it was, it would eventually crash and burn. More important: I would completely lose the drive and interest to continue the project. Because of this the decision was made to simplify the core by removing all side features like automatic installers and support for exotic platforms. This release (2.11.0) is the first real release that will reflect (parts) of these changes. As a result of this, some things might break. So before you continue make sure to backup your installation. Your config, your modules or better yet: your full MagicMirror folder. In other words: update at your own risk.

For more information regarding this major change, please check issue #1860.

Deleted

• Remove installers.
• Remove externalized scripts.
• Remove jshint dependency, instead eslint checks your config file now

Added

• Brazilian translation for “FEELS”.
• Ukrainian translation.
• Finnish translation for “PRECIP”, “UPDATE_INFO_MULTIPLE” and “UPDATE_INFO_SINGLE”.
• Added the ability to hide the temp label and weather icon in the currentweather module to allow showing only information such as wind and sunset/rise.
• The clock module now optionally displays sun and moon data, including rise/set times, remaining daylight, and percent of moon illumination.
• Added Hebrew translation.
• Add HTTPS support and update config.js.sample
• Run tests on long term support and latest stable version of nodejs
• Added the ability to configure a list of modules that shouldn’t be update checked.
• Run linters on git commits
• Added date functionality to compliments: display birthday wishes or celebrate an anniversary

Fixed

• Force declaration of public ip address in config file (ISSUE #1852)
• Fixes run-start.sh: If running in docker-container, don’t check the environment, just start electron (ISSUE #1859)
• Fix calendar time offset for recurring events crossing Daylight Savings Time (ISSUE #1798)
• Fix regression in currentweather module causing ‘undefined’ to show up when config.hideTemp is false
• Fix FEELS translation for Croatian
• Fixed weather tests #1840
• Fixed Socket.io can’t be used with Reverse Proxy in serveronly mode #1934
• Fix update checking skipping 3rd party modules the first time

Changed

• Remove documentation from core repository and link to new dedicated docs site: docs.magicmirror.builders.
• Updated config.js.sample: Corrected some grammar on config.js.sample comment section.
• Removed run-start.sh script and update start commands:
  • To start using electron, use npm run start.
  • To start in server only mode, use npm run server.
• Remove redundant logging from modules.
• Timestamp in log output now also contains the date
• Turkish translation.
• Option to configure the size of the currentweather module.

This MagicMirror² module keeps an eye on your UI and quits app in case the UI crashes. If you combine this with the PM2 process manager, MM2 will automaticly restart after a UI failure.

@wjdw87 You really didn’t read any word of this topic. Did you? 😂

5 years ago I started the MagicMirror project as a fun project for myself only. After blogging about it, the responses to the project where overwhelming. With the advent of MagicMirror², the project has grown to something I never dared to dream of.

The MagicMirror project has a huge community behind it, mainly in the form of this forum. Hosting this project not only takes up some of my time, but also a fair amount of money.

I absolutely want to keep this forum Ad free. Just as I want to keep the MagicMirror² free and opensource. More importantly: I’d like to free up some of my work hour to spent more time working on the core.

Unfortunately this isn’t possible without some additional funds. Because of this I’m considering taking on donations. In what way or form isn’t completely clear yet. And for that I’d like to hear your ideas …

What are our thoughts about taking donations to support the MagicMirror project? Would you be willing to donate? And if so, would you prefer one time donations, or recurring donations. What platforms do you prefer to send donations? And do you think this is possible without giving additional perks to supporters?

Your thought in this process are very valuable to me. Please let me know what your thoughts are and what you think is the best approach to do so.

Don’t worry: you’ll always be able to use MagicMirror even without any donations.

Thanks in advance!

Edit: I’ve added to option to donate: http://magicmirror.builders/donate

For anyone running into this issue, run the following command from your MagicMirror folder:

 npm install electron@1.4.15
