Breaking Changes

  • RSS target names must now consist of a domain as well as the target name, e.g. rss.cnn_news
  • SSE Support has been removed
  • Use of ha_key for authentication is deprecated and will be removed at some point. For now it will still work
  • Many Font Awesome Icon names have changed - any custom icons you have on dashboards will need to be changed to suit - see docs for more detail.

While working through the upgrade it is strongly advised that you clear your browser cache and force recompiles of all of your dashboards to flush out references to old icons. This can be done by manually removing the compiled subdirectory in conf_dir, specifying recompile=1 in the arguments to the dashboard, or setting the hadashboard option dash_compile_on_start to 1.
