Goodmorning!
Yesterday we made v2.60~39 available for testing.
A few more improvements, most importantly one for the "UI gets stuck on the overview" complaint, see below.
This post is intended for all people participating in the Venus OS Beta test program.
Changes since v2.60~38
- Hopefully fix the "UI gets stuck on the overview" bug. And if not fixed, then at least the logging is a lot better which will help us find the root cause. Therefore: if you have had this issue regularly, please let us know if now its gone. And, if you still have it, also lets us know - because then we'll be very keen to login remotely and analyse the logs. This bug has been in Venus OS for a long time, maybe for ever, but only uncovered after fixing another one recently - in v2.57.
- Add the missing % sign to the keyboard on the Cerbo GX & CanVU GX - needed in case a wifi password contains that character. Thank you @Robert Cook for reporting.
- EM24 Ethernet meter: fix stalled readings happening sometimes - thank you @Niek H. for reporting.
- VE.Bus Inverter/Chargers & Inverters: Remove the decimals from the battery temperature display.
Complete preliminary v2.60 change log
Highlights of v2.60 are the new ESS Feed-in limiter, new Ethernet connected energy meters, better tank monitoring as well as much improved NMEA2000-out feature and other changes mostly benefited from by our Marine customers. Full change log in this PDF:

Next steps
We are still finding and fixing various small issues. Once stabilised we'll release v2.60. Everyone here is really keen to do so, its time to start working on something fresh again! And.. its time have all the new features finished & available ofcourse. Which means maybe next week, maybe one more week, or even longer in case something serious shows up - hopefully not.
All the best, Matthijs
