[1.6] Mid May 2019

Added

  • Added new design option: Agenda-View, which displays events in the next few days with timings
  • Added support for multi-day events
  • Added support for multiple languages
  • Added support for localisation options (dates will be shown in the set language now)
  • Added new fonts (NotoSans Semi & Noto Sans CJK) which support many languages (without displaying tofus)
  • Added dynamic space management to minimise empty space on the generated image
  • Added support for RSS-feeds. It is now possible to display them in the bottom section
  • Added image pre-processing operation to allow displaying the generated image correctly on the E-Paper
  • Added limit (in days) when fetching events from the iCalendar
  • Added option to select the display-update interval*
  • Added user-friendly Web-UI (webpage) for entering personal details easily (Credit to TobyChui)
  • Added support for continuing the loop even if some details are missing in the settings file (api-key, rss-feed)
  • Added support for relative path and removed explicit path
  • Added support for timezones. events timings will be shown correctly using the system's set timezone
  • Added support for 12/24 hours format for events

Changed

  • Changed E-Paper layout by splitting the image into three section: top-, middle, bottom.
  • Changed the way the installer checks if a required package is installed (by test-importing it in python3)
  • Changed the function which displays text on the Calendar
  • Merged e-paper driver files (initially epd7in5b and epd7in5) into a single one (e_paper_drivers)
  • Switched from image-based translations to text-based translation
  • Changed algorithm for filtering events

Removed

  • Removed (older) fonts which were not suitable for multiple languages
  • (Temporary) removed support of recurring events due to some known bugs
  • (Temporary) dropped support of the installer on Raspbian Jessie Lite due to some known bugs
  • Removed image-based translations for month names

Fixed

  • Fixed problems with iCalendar triggers by removing them altogether when parsing the iCalendar
  • Fixed problems with outdated events

(*) Updating too frequently can cause ghosting, a problem specific to E-Paper displays where parts of the previous image can be seen on the current image. Ghosting can be fixed by 'calibrating' the E-Paper (displaying a single colour on the entire display) and is done by default. As a rule of thumb, one 'calibration' should be done for every 6 display-updates to maintain a crisp image.
