Full test suite added & minor improvements

Changelog:

• Full test suite added, with coverage above 98%
• Remove animation from the control panels due to the heavy toll they were taking on the browser
• Lay the basis to introduce additional ways to access the Internet (Ethernet, SIM card)
• Disable swap in the base image and in the instructions
• Add the possibility to specify the AWB range from the remote panel
• Minor bugfixes

Known bugs:

• The HQ camera cannot shoot at resolutions >= 8K in case of low light conditions, because the second picture fails. The bug is under investigation.

Fix the local web UI and a few other bugs

Changelog:

• Remove the camera stream in the local web UI, as it was too fragile. Might re-add later if I find a better solution for it.
• Add a reboot button to the local web UI, to allow rebooting a device which is out of reach.
• Rework the main interface of the local web UI.
• Move the \r\n fix into the overlays code.
• Fix a difference between http and ftp in the numbered photos: now both indexes start from 0.
• Add stub of the diagnostics dump tool: now it piggybacks the logs infrastructure, later on it should be put into its own separate folder. No support for it on the remote web UI yet.

Improved low light pictures

Changelog:

• Final version of the low light algorithm implemented. Works well with v2, a bit off with HQ, but still decent
• Merge cron and time blocks in the configuration file (BREAKING CHANGE in the communication between zanzocam and the server)
• Solve encoding issue with the FTP configuration file download, which was not handling accented letters correctly
• Add video preview of the camera to the local web ui, to allow users to focus the HQ
• Remove low light curve page (no more needed) and related endpoints
• Reintroduce JPEG quality to the remote configuration interface
• Review resolutions dropdown in the remote configuration interface

Code reorganization

Code has been thoroughly reorganized. Now features a remote server and a local Python package that contains both the webcam code and the web UI code. Many small bugs and quirks have been fixed and the code is generally more tidy.

Refining night pictures

Changelog:

• Adding algorithm for two-shot night pictures
• Adding algorithm to re-calibrate the parameters of the above procedure
• Adding page on the setup server to calibrate the night pictures parameters
• Add preview of the overlays already present on the server and change the overall procedure of uploading overlays
• Other minor changes on the remote page

NOTE: the setup server has become quite slow on my Pi for no apparent reason. To investigate.

Bugfix for multiple pictures over FTP

Changelog:

• Bugfix for multiple pictures over FTP
• Move the "How many pictures" buttons onto the Picture section of the control panel (still setting to the server block in configuration.json)

Proper multi-picture implemented

Changes:

• Multiple picture support improved: now you can store either one picture, a fixed number of them (and they get numbered) or an infinite amount (and they will get date and time as a suffix).
• Tidy up the multi-picture support on the control panel too
• Complete rework of the setup panel: added webcam preview and possibility to configure the different parts separately
• Added password on the setup panel: username zanzocam-user, password lampone (for now)
• Remove zip support for configuration files in the control-panel (unused)
• Add zanzocam logo to all panels

Still missing:

• Validation of the control panel values

Server-side pictures buffer implemented

New Features:

• Is now possible to specify how many pictures to keep on the server. They're gonna receive a prefix with their position and be renamed every time a new picture come in, until they get deleted once enough new pictures have been uploaded.
• The setup-server now allows the users to see and download the execution logs of the test picture. Test picture preview still TBD.
• Various fixes/improvements to the setup server and the webcam code

Activity time bounds introduced

New features:

• Add start and stop times for the webcam to avoid shooting at night
• Add an option not to start the hotspot when the wifi is not reachable, to prevent it from turning on once in stable operation
• Normalize server folder structure for FTP and HTTP upload protocols: now both can be used with the same server setup if both accesses to the same folder is available
• Introduce simplified scheduling for the shoots
• Simplify input of the picture resolution
• Add enhanced visual color selector
• Add toggle for FTP TLS to support insecure servers
• Add subfolder support for FTP servers
• Fix bugs and various enhancements to the setup server and remote configuration interface

FTP support added

Changelog:

• Added FTP support
• Fix few important bugs in the configuration interface
• Change slightly the style of the configuration interface
