Updated repo since 'blink1-tool' is in its own repo

blink1-tool and its attendant utilities like blink1control-tool and blink1-lib have moved to their own repo at https://github.com/todbot/blink1-tool

If you are packaging blink1-tool for a packaging system, please use https://github.com/todbot/blink1-tool

(Unfortunately in doing the move, I must have issued a wrong git command because the v1.98a tag here is different than it was)

This release is the first release of this repo post-blink1-tool, no other changes.

blink1-tool v1.98 release

Latest version of C-based tools.

Blink1Control v1.98: mail updates, wake/sleep fixes

Blink1Control update, includes fixes for:

• Upgraded underlying code framework to Qt5.5 which should address issues #246, #242, #220 and make app work better on Windows 8.1 and Windows 10
• Fixed font rendering problem on certain highDPI Windows systems, issue #237
• Implemented sleep/wake detection to turn off & disable blink(1) on sleep, addresses issue #244
• Mail subsystem completely rewritten to use libcurl, is more intelligent about searching, addressing issues #222 and others
• Improved settings save & load, to address issue #221
• Much internal cleanup of QML GUI in a move to use standard QtQuick controls
• Fixed "start at login" option (for Mac, app needs to be in /Applications for it to work)

Added in this release:

• Use the Dock / Tray menu to trigger the customizable "big buttons" ("Away", "Busy", etc.)
• New "Open Log File" and "Open Settings File" in Preferences dialog
• Added to API server ability to see which patterns are playing (also added "playcount" and "playPos"), issue #243. Also to show a single pattern with localhost:8934/blink1/pattern?pname=policecar.
• New "Move to 1st place" in BigButton context menu to allow rearranging of custom BigButtons

Known issues:

• BigButton dock/tray menus only updated on app restart
• POP3 protocol for Mail is currently disabled
• Changes to proxy settings not used for Mail until app is restarted
• Graphics still not sharp on Retina displays
• Certain Windows systems give "black window" after sleep due to QQuickView not redrawing
• Preferences window looks weird (but still functional) on certain highDPI Windows system

Note:

• There are 'debug' versions of the app for Mac & Windows.
• To debug:
  • First, go to Menubar/Tray menu and choose "Enable API server"
  • Second, turn on logging by using browser to visit url: http://localhost:8934/logging?loglevel=1
  • On Windows, opening the app will open a cmd window with debug messages
  • On Mac, to see the debug messages, unzip the bundle, open Terminal in the directory of the Blink1Control app, and run the app by typing: ./Blink1Control-debug.app/Contents/MacOS/Blink1Control

blink1-tool updates; Java / Processing library updated

v1.97

fix blink1-tool blink/flash issue

blink1-tool updates

blink1-tool releases for specific architectures, including:

• openwrt-ar71xx -- for OpenWrt systems like Arduino Yun
• openwrt-brcm71xx -- for many OpenWrt routers, like Asus
• openwrt-linux-arm6l-raspi -- for Raspberry Pi running Raspbian

Blink1Control v1.95 ; blink1-tool for OpenWrt/Yun

Blink1Control update.

Includes only one change over v1.94: fixed text sizes so UI is text doesn't blow up in size on systems with large DPI scale settings. (e.g. Windows Display preference "Make it easer to read what's on your screen" setting is set to 125% or 150% instead of 100%)

Also: blink1-mini-tool for OpenWrt devices, like Wrt-based routers and Arduino Yun. Two binaries are provided:

• blink1-mini-tool-openwrt-ar71xx.zip - for ar71xx-based systems, like Arduino Yun
• blink1-mini-tool-openwrt-brcm47xx.zip - for bcrm47xx-based systems such as Asus RT-N16 routers

To build your own, see blink1/commandline/blink1-mini-tool/Makefile

Usage for blink1-mini-tool looks like:

# ./blink1-mini-tool
usage:
  ./blink1-mini-tool blink [<num>]
  ./blink1-mini-tool random [<num>]
  ./blink1-mini-tool rgb <red>,<green>,<blue>
# ./blink1-mini-tool rgb 0,255,0

Blink1Control v1.94

Blink1Control update, includes fixes for several persistent issues:

• Random crashes due to USB bus scanning (issue #184)
• Random crashes due to GUI (issue #184; a bug in Qt GUI library, building now against Qt5.4)
• Mac OS X App Nap prevention (issue #174, #136; made Blink1Control not trigger or play patterns slowly)
• Preferences/Settings being lost (issue #181, #132; due to bug in Qt Settings object, Qt5.4 fixes it)

Also fixed/added in this release:

• Preferences Export/Import - go to Advanced Preferences menu (gear icon above virtual blink(1) )
• Proxy settings are now saved
• Log file (if used) now located in tempdir and filename is reported via API server

NOTE for Mac users:

• For App Nap prevention, Blink1Control must be launched, exited, then launched again for App Nap prevention to take effect.
• If your Security Preferences are set to "Allow apps from: App store", right-click on Blink1Control and choose "Open" when first launching Blink1Control.
